"Order of merit" would link to "Order of Merit" without a redirect, as does "oRDeR OF MeRit" The Theosophist ( talk) 17:37, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- Keep I am confused. Weihang7 ( talk) 17:47, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

- Wikilinks are case-sensitive except on first letter. For instance, the example given above,
oRDeR OF MeRit, doesn't link. If the redirect is deleted,
Order of merit (small "m") will become a redlink. --

I have a question: if oRDeR OF MeRit doesn't link, then why does it take you to Order of Merit if you search it?-- The Theosophist ( talk) 20:11, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- Presumably because searching behaviour is not the same as link behaviour. :) —

Delete G5 if possible. YellowPegasus ( talk · contribs) moved these templates to the "Wikigraphist" titles, before being reverted. He has since been blocked for evading a block, and performing the same kind of stuff that he got blocked for previously. These titles make no sense. 70.24.247.127 ( talk) 16:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
- Wait. There is a pending SPI case (
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PIPony22) regarding YellowPegasus. It's best to wait for confirmation of the link between accounts before speedy deleting per G5.
