Thread:Project:Support desk/Filename Case Sensitivity Question/reply

I don't have a direct answer, but whether there is case-sensitivity for filenames or not depends on the operating system: While Linux based systems have it, systems based on Windows don't. On Windows, the different casings are treated as if there were the same. If MediaWiki would differentiate the casing, it would no longer be compatible with Windows. A wiki could not be used on Windows and it could no longer be moved from Linux to Windows without the files being potentially broken afterwards. To stay compatible, case-sensitivity should be disabled by default.
