yup :-)
#MISSPELLING [[Napoleon]]
for "Napolean", say
It's been suggested at least twice before.
I said #DEPRECATED (because it could be for more than misspellings --
old CamelCase, for example, or anything else that unneede for searches).
Somebody else said something else a while earlier than that.
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
This is a good idea too.
