Hi all,
I'm installing several language wikis, among others german and spanish, that need accents and "Umlauts" in some article names. Is there any way to set wiki to ignore those accents/Umlauts?
Example: when adding the article "España", when the user types in "Espana" he should be redirected automatically to "España".
I used the function #REDIRECT [[Article Name]], but the main problem is: the redirection counts as another article, so the statistic (total page number) is not correct. Any alternative available?
Thanks in advance

No. You could use an engine which shows España when you search for Espana, but article Espana is different than article España for the wiki.

It doesn't count as an article. There is a count of "total pages" which includes things like redirects, talk pages, interface messages... and another for articles, which is much more strict in what is counted.
