That is how every wiki treats titles. There is need for that to be able to 
make distinction between names and ordinary nouns, which can make distinction 
between different topics. 

The other thing influenced with case sensitivity is search, but our is not 
case sensitive.  

One approach to solve problem is to instruct authors to use Wikipedia style 
guide for article and section title capitalization, that require 1st word of 
title and any proper nouns within a title to be capitalized. 

That makes life much easier, from creating links within sentence like [[this 
is one link]], and not [[This Is One Link | this is one link]], to compensate 
for capital letters that don't belong in the middle of the sentence.
Besides above, it has at least one more advantage, few pages of instructions  
lesser to read.
