Open AardUser opened 11 years ago

Non ascii entries are duplicate (eg: "francais", "français"). It can be usefull to remove duplicated entries in the "matching list" (kept the non ascii one). Having to many entries (especialy with severals articles in confusing).

Thanks

This is how redirects are currently implemented. Alternate spellings of article titles get their own lookup index entry, which typically redirect to the "canonical" title. In current implementation such redirect is not followed until user tries to access the article for the title, which is why they look like separate, duplicate articles. I agree it would be nice to show just one article, along with the list of alternate titles (non-ascii characters have nothing to with it).
