- Please remember that links are mostly CASE SENSITIVE. When linking to a missing page, whichever case you use will be created when someone follows the link and makes a new page. Linking to existing articles is case sensitive for every letter except the first one. Lowercasing or capitalizing a letter other than the first one will break the link / not link to the page you want. Please read this guide on links for more information.
