Oh man, thank you so much for doing that. Your solution would save me quite a few hours, since I'm the one who takes care of the redirects. In the example you offered me, I didn't bother to make lower-case redirects because the search function recognises what you enter regardless if you write in lower-case or upper-case, so long as every word in the title you are searching for originally starts with a capital. On the other hand, for examples such as [[Bird Traveling the Wastes]], there needs to be a lower-case variant because of the existent uncapitalised word/words. However, when I got to make redirects for [[List of Power Moons in the Snow Kingdom]], I was under the impression that lower-case variants for redirects similar to the "How You Doin', Captain Toad?" example are indeed necessary, though I'm not sure why. I've seen some people following this practice, even though it says in the [[MarioWiki:Redirects#Unnecessary redirects|guidelines]] not to do it. <s>I'll ask an admin what's the drill.</s> [Nevermind...]<br>Anyway; you shouldn't worry about the punctuation, as I can still take care of it manually. If the admins are okay with implementing this bot, go ahead; I find it very helpful.-- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}} 11:33, 2 May 2018 (EDT) | Oh man, thank you so much for doing that.

:If I may add, case redirects were discussed earlier when [[Afoot in the Foothills]] raised some problems. Different case redirects are indeed acceptable, but only if there are varying cases in the name. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:53, 2 May 2018 (EDT) | |||
