[opensuse-marketing] Wiki functionality
Hi. I don't know if this is the right forum(list) for this but i will try anyway. I recently signed up for the ambassador program and have started to translate pages into Swedish. I recently translated a page on the wiki called Openssh from English and so far so god, then i discovered another page with information regarding openssh with the name OpenSSH and it contained different information. This is not good that it's possible to create multiple pages for same software just by just changing a letter in the word to uppercase/lowercase, even if it is done unintentional. Is there a meaning with this or just default behavior of the wiki software? I think users can get confused if they do a search on the wiki and there are more than one page for same software with different information. I think that it will not aid in the quest to promote openSUSE to the masses with this feature on the wiki, if it is indeed a feature on the wiki. I know that i first missed the second link since the first link i found was the one i translated from. Links: http://en.opensuse.org/Openssh (This is the one i translated from) http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSSH Looking forward to thoughts and ideas from my fellow ambassadors.

there is no way for software to recognize if openssh or OpenSSH the same. This is a task for humans like you or me. You should merge both pages to one. If you not dare this, then mark it with the template (I dont know how is called in swedish) for merging. When you have merged both pages to one, then should be one of them empty. Set there an redirect to the other page. Redirects are the only way to prevent for doubles like this ;)
