gollark: Also, the way case-insensitivity is done - by canonicalizing to title case - is actually not good.
gollark: Thanks, horse.
gollark: So the public instance has shown me that people care lots about certain minoteaureous features, notably being able to alias pages (e.g. create "bees" as an alias for "bee" such that linking to "bees" actually links to "bee"), and coloring links which are unreachable another color is good.
gollark: ALL are to arbitrarily be told about minoteaur development.
gollark: Just like GNU Make.
