Description Daniel Kinzler 2012-12-04 14:15:28 UTC 
Special:ItemDisambiguation should list items with the same label, disregarding case and other minor differences (at least optionally).
Comment 1 Daniel Kinzler 2013-01-14 16:18:23 UTC 
This can and should be achieved by querying the wb_terms table via the
TermsCache interface. That would also fix bug 43962.
Comment 2 Matthew Flaschen 2013-05-22 08:17:19 UTC 
Agreed.  The default should be case-insensitive to correspond with the new default on the item suggester.  This is important, because a common way to find items without descriptions is to use the suggester, then search when you see descriptions are missing.

It could be useful to have a checkbox to change this when disambiguating though.
