Hi, please can you explain this change, as far as I know wikipedia tags are not case sensitive. Who decided they must start with a capital letter?

Hi @trigpoint, the Wikipedia title has a "normalized" form (actually the rules for it are very complex, such as each portion of the title has to be capital first, such as namespace, after namespace, and after each "/" if subpages are enabled). Plus some url decoding, spaces instead of underscores, and many other (Title parsing code is huge). While going to Wikipedia directly via the link would work ok, many other services would not be able to handle it - for example "en:pl:Foo" would not be matched in Wikidata. Keeping titles in a normal form would help many data consumers avoid (buggy) reimplementation of the title normalization.

I just updated my auto-generated page with lists: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Yurik/OSM_wiki_tag_problems#List_pages -- these are only wikipedia articles with their wikidata's "instance of" = Q13406463 and Q15623926, but I could obviously add more. Let me know
