Why is the page called U Seful Notes instead of Useful Notes? Someone must have made a mistake or there is some strange vandalism going on here? Is there an Overly Long Gag related to this i don't know about? If not, i propose it is changed back to simply Useful Notes.

By now you have noticed that how the word is capitalized in the link is how it shows up, right? Find the link that sent you in with the weird caps and fix it.

"U Seful Notes" is "Useful Notes", just with improper capitalization. The system parses any Wiki Words that use the exact same characters in the exact same order, regardless of capitalization.

Look at it this way, A Nice Person links to the same page as An Ice Person.

Perhaps a stickied thread should be made about this. I've seen it at least five times within the past month. I'm thinking "Pages to Rename Because of Capitalization Mistakes" and a brief entry pointing them toward Pen Island.

Well i noticed it on the index banner thing on the bottom of the page while i was browsing the Basketball article (and i noticed it in other Useful Notes articles as well). Must be a glitch or something.

It's not a glitch. It's a typo. Fix the typo and all will be fixed.

The point is that the typo is in an index banner, which means there's no obvious place to go fix it. And it's not just on one page, either; every Useful Notes page I've checked has the same thing.

It's somehow been mis-capitalized on the Index-Index. I'm not sure how that happened, that's an autoindexer. But as long as it's wrong on that page, it's going to be wrong on the indexbars.
