[Mediawiki-l] Accents & Umlaute

[zelulax]

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

Z.
