Hi Patrick,

Here are two different pages:
[[Test Page]] yields:
http://www.ms.lt/lt/index.php/Min%c4%8di%c5%b3Sodas/TestPage

but [[test page]] yields:
http://www.ms.lt/lt/index.php/Min%c4%8di%c5%b3Sodas/testpage

See the pages... It would be good if they went to the same page, 
preferably TestPage.

Andrius
