Problems with Wiki

Losing summaries

I find that when I edit pages and add links, the process of asking me an arithmetic question frequently discards the summary that I entered, so I have to scroll down and enter it again. I haven't been able to determine a pattern to when this happens.--Mokurai

Does it ask you an arithmetic question when you are logged in? It is only supposed to ask when the edits are anonymous (part of the Mediawiki anti-spam measures). --Walter 08:25, 22 October 2006 (EDT)

I get the arithmetic question when I add external links, even when I am logged in.--Mokurai 19:56, 4 November 2006 (EST)

Cannot search for "FORTH"

The Wiki Search function does not find the word "forth" on any page or page title. The Go function correctly goes to the page entitled "FORTH". My problem is that I have to use Google to search for references to the FORTH programming language in order to make them into links, now that I have created a FORTH page.

Make wiki Search CasE INsensitive

We will all be better served if both Go and Search are not sensitive to case. Google works that way, so practically every participant here will be LESS surprised if case is ignored.

How can this objective be pursued?
