-<div class='ylwnote'>Please note that at the moment OrbiterWiki links are entirely case-sensitive, including the first letter! This means that [[OrbiterWiki:Sandbox]] is not the same as [[OrbiterWiki:sandbox]]. Sorry about the inconvenience, but that was necessary for the API functions. We are working on changing this to be entirely case-insensitive.</div>
