Common misspellings should be created as redirect links. Mrak

Do we? I don't see why. Having such a redirect suggests that at some point it will be used. That means a link with the wrong spelling. Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I would much rather see a red link than a blue one on a misspelling! Anyone using preview is more likely to be alerted to the misspelling, not to mention the reader or another editor if the misspelling is saved! (Yes, I realise people should be using spellcheckers, but they probably aren't!)
Anyways, I think misspelt words should not be catered for!

BugZillify this as a Feature Request.
I also love playing with languages but I sometime
feel like I'm not that
welcomed to understand some of the writings in
this list. I'm very sad to
only be French (and to blindly use split
infinitive :) but I wished I had
enough boldness to ask writers to stay in certain
limits of
understandability (<-- I know this word is
horrific, but it's easy to
understand for most readers, isn't it ?)
Note that this comment isn't directly adressed to
Jens but to all the
contributors. Wikipedia isn't only written by
native geeks swimming everyday
in their slangy localized bath, my dear friends !
