Exclude some titles
If you want to exclude some titles, you can set $wgSuppleRedirectExcludes on LocalSettings.php as follows.
$wgSuppleRedirectExcludes = [ "Example", "Test" ];
You must set uppercase the first character because of MediaWiki's restriction.
But you may not restricted with $wgCapitalLinks = false.
