The search bar is not case sensitive, we do not need lowercase redirects. --[[User:Planterror|Planterror]] ([[User talk:Planterror|talk]]) 18:27, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

:Perhaps you misunderstand: my redirects have nothing to do with case -- they redirect a search like "Artillery Battery" to "Artillery Battery (disambiguation)".

:For example, before I started there was already a similar redirect for MOAB Assassin, which can be found here: https://www.bloonswiki.com/index.php?title=MOAB_Assassin&redirect=no

:Second of all, the search bar is, to an extent, case sensitive. Notice that if you search "mOAB", it will take you straight to the "MOAB" page, but if you instead search "mOAb" or "Moab", it first goes to "Moab" and needs to be redirected.

:I will keep your suggestion in mind in the future and make sure I'm only adding redirects that square with how a user would normally use the search bar, but I will continue to make them. [[User:Fishbol|Fishbol]] ([[User talk:Fishbol|talk]]) 18:44, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

::I see the issue now. I was using a workaround for the search bar that was causing me to land on empty pages even though the properly-cased redirects had already been made. I fixed the problem in my browser and now see that all (or at least many of) the redirects are properly in place.
