Is there a standard method for dealing with case sensitivity? I expect redirects are a good option, but I don't know if that will work.

: Weirdly with MediaWiki, the first letter of the page name isn't case-sensitive (i.e. its internal name is always capitalized, so two pages can't exist where the only difference is the capitalization of the first letter) but the rest are (so capitalization redirects exist). I'd say ask Rowett about it; maybe he can make it so that, when looking for the <tt>Rule:</tt> page, LifeViewer will capitalize the first letter if it isn't already, which should at least take care of this case and maybe a few others.
