Description Platonides 2009-08-06 19:58:15 UTC 
+++ This bug is a superset of Bug #19882 +++

TitleKey does a normalization for titles comparing just their uppercase values (Language::caseFold).
However, there're also many redirects done just for making users arrive at the page with the diacritics from an ASCII title.

The steps to take would be like these:
*Create a normalizing function at Language.
*Make TitleKey::normalize use it before caseFolding.
*Add some basic scoring to TitleKey::exactMatch instead of just returning the frst one, since the options are now much larger.
*Add a hook to also plug it into MediaWiki:Noarticletext
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2009-08-06 20:50:17 UTC 
Scoring could indeed be interesting... certainly we want a "more exact" match before a "less exact" one, especially for languages where diacritics and such frequently distinguish between minimal pairs.

Update component, assign to maintainer.
