Hello. In my attempt to use mediawiki for my faculty's intranet, a new obstacle just caught my attention. I guess this would happen with most languages, not only spanish.
Question in this message: *) Is there a way to make somthing like the Wrongtitle template, that instead of showing the "technical restrictions" message, would just render the right page title? I'm not afraid of digging into the code if necesary, I just need pointers on where to begin.
Rationale:
Most of my page titles have accents, tildes or other non-ascii characters. For instance, a link to the page about Logics ([[Lógica]]) would be http://mywiki/wiki/L%C3%B3gica, wich in turns would get rendered by the browser as http://mywiki/wiki/L%C3%B3gica. Not only that url is near-to-impossible for our users to learn, but also to type if they know that "%C3%B3" is "ó" but don't have an spanish keyboard available (very common, as most people in my faculty find the english layout a lot easier for programming). So I proposed the idea of using either [[Logica|Lógica]] or rewriting the [[]] parser code, so that the [[Lógica]] link would get rendered as "Lógica" in the text, but link to "/wiki/Logica".
So far, no problems... except that when the user visits the now /wiki/Logica link, the text reads "Logica" as the page title (I know it is parsed directly from the URL, so it wasn't unexpected). Is there any way to make the page display the right title instead of the one parsed from the url? (something like the {{Template:Wrongtitle}}, but instead of rendering a "technical restrictions warning", just fixing the title). I'm not afraid of digging into the code, but I just don't know where to start.
On a related note, I would like to be able to correct some misstypings on the url, i.e, if the url does not exist and there is another very similar (levenshtein distance), return a redirection page pointing to the right article. This seems more complex, so I won't dig into it just yet, but if you know of an extension that would let me do this, please tell me.
