Support forum URLs like ​https://wordpress.org/support/theme/BusinessX/ and ​https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rEmove-NO-comments/ and ​https://wordpress.org/support/view/SPAM/ should redirect to the lowercase equivalent via a 301 redirect.

Support article URLs like ​https://wordpress.org/support/article/Glossary/ should also redirect to the lowercase equivalent.

@jonoaldersonwp: Why? Can you provide reproduction steps?

Because it's been best practice since before any of us were born. What do you mean, can I provide reproduction steps? There are example URLs in the issue description.

@jonoaldersonwp: Yes, but they fail to provide the information necessary to reproduce your bug.
Please list steps which you can follow to reproduce, and point to the best practice you are referring to.
