=== Small caveat: The case of the wrong case ===
Wikipedia has a small perversion regarding page name casing: it will convert the first character of a page name to uppercase, regardless of the way it was entered. To compensate, it also converts the first letter of a template (when transcluded) and module (when invoked) to uppercase. however, this does not extend to the modules stored in User: namespace viewed through the special [[Template sandbox]], because in the sandbox "the first letter" is not the first letter any more. Here is an actual example: for real modules, let's say [[Module:String]], mediawiki software will allow you to use <nowiki>{{#invoke:String|replace|Hara I am|a|e}}</nowiki> to return "Here I em" (try it). It will also allow you to use <nowiki>{{#invoke:string|replace|Hara I am|a|e}}</nowiki> to get the same result:
{|class="wikitable"
|-

However, if our developer would create a page named [[User:Lua Developer/sandbox/Module:string]], she would not be able to invoke this module in any way, because the parser will look for a page named "Module:String" and not "Module:string" under the sandbox prefix, Wikipedia will not convert the name to "Module:String" (because it only converts the 1st character in the page name), and will not find it, so it will take the module from the main namespace (if such module exists), or will complain that the module does not exist.
Upper/lower case is correctly handled for all modules in normal use, which are housed in the Module: namespace.
