It has in the past been suggested to have a special type of redirect for

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".
