According to the RFC4122 A Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) URN
Namespace, the formal definition of an UUID string includes hexadecimal
digits in uppercase. But the current implementation of the UUID URL

Comment:

Thanks for this ticket, however this is a
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/http/urls/#path-converters
document] and intended behavior which prevents multiple URLs from mapping
to the same page:

> `uuid` - Matches a formatted UUID. To prevent multiple URLs from mapping
to the same page, dashes must be included and **letters must be
lowercase**. For example, `075194d3-6885-417e-a8a8-6c931e272f00`. Returns
a UUID instance.

See #28883 for a related discussion.
