I find myself browsing the site daily and shaking my head in frustration with the number of people who incorrectly capitalize/case "WordPress" in their question titles. It's highlighted pretty well at the top of the page ... but people still miss it.
Having so many questions and blocks of text on the site with this horrendous mis-use of the name of the product we all love is a travesty! We need to do something to fix it!
Short of having moderators go through each and every post ... I'd like to offer the following feature request options for discussion:
- Port the
capital_P_dangit
filter to Stack Exchange. Everyone knows and loves the little filter in WordPress that automatically converts "Wordpress" to its correct spelling. Why not add it here as well? I have confidence there will be little to no controversy surrounding this feature. - Make the spell checker more annoying when it sees "WordPress" mis-typed. The spell checker correctly highlights "Wordpress" and "wordpress" when you type them in the editor and suggests "WordPress" as the correct spelling. Is this really enough? Why not add a JavaScript alert that asks the question/answer author if they're really sure they want to abuse the product's name before publishing? I think people will see this less as annoying and more as a useful reminder.
- Add a case sensitive search option. It's actually pretty easy to go in and revise mis-typed questions and answers ... but only if you know where they are. Unfortunately, searches are case-insensitive and return "WordPress" as a match for "Wordpress." If the site had an option to flag the search for case-sensitivity, it would make finding offending questions/answers much easier.
Thoughts?
