So if somebody has the balls to check, this might be addressed!
Ahh I’ve been seeing your posts around, didn’t know you were a wiki editor, that would explain the well manoured language!
I’m a beauro on a fairly popular wikia/fandom site, our Finnish game has a lot of spelling mistakes so we have re-directs on many pages where words are spelt wrong. For us on Fandom (not gamepedia, both use mediawiki tho) the redirects seem to be perfect as users don’t even notice they’re being redirected. There’s a ‘redirected from’ banner when this happens.
In searches; the ‘incorrectly’ spelled page appears a recommended in the drop down, even if the user is not spelling it the way the pagename is, the redirect will automatically show this in user searches. A very nice feature I think is also in Gamepedia?
We often got people editing the pages to ‘correct’ the laguage, so a while ago we made a “sic” template which added a [sic] icon and an on-hover notice mentioning this is the preferred spelling. Now we rarely get these ‘corrections’ made.
Sorry for the off-topic, and you may already be aware of all that, but I could honestly talk mediawiki all day haha.
