It has in the past been suggested to have a special type of redirect for misspellings. These could have a "you're an illiterate idiot, from now on please type 'X'" message display when visited or searched, but be hidden from lists like the Allpages list or general search results.
Would that be a help?
yup :-) #MISSPELLING [[Napoleon]] for "Napolean", say
I also suggested non-English wikipedias might find it easier to have a synonym of the keyword #REDIRECT in their own language -- so on fr:, #REDIRECT or ... #{whatever} would work
What about those situations where "napolean" is correct? I would find it quite acceptable as an adjective in some circumstances. The glossary on the website for the Farrier & Hoofcare Resource Center refers to a "napolean shoe" as a "backwards shoe".
