When you click on a broken link to create a new page, Ikiwiki lower-cases the new page's filename. I wish it wouldn't.
If I click on "Czars in Russia", I'd like Ikiwiki to create "Czars\_in\_Russia.mdwn", not "czars\_in\_russia.mdwn". Is this possible? --[[sabr]]

>> Either of your proposed solutions (make it the default or include both in the pop-up menu) sounds fine to me. Which one is easier? :) --[[sabr]]
