Talk:Liliuokalani Botanical Garden

ʻOkina issue

The title of the article probably needs a cleanup, as I am only getting Liliʻuokalani Botanical Garden (with a box between the second i and the u. it's unlikely that many people will be able to type that title into the seach box. Travelbird 19:28, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's a puzzle to me exactly how to proceed for the Liliʻuokalani Botanical Garden article title. Hawaiian names often have diacritical marks (okina); this one does, and it shows up fine in my browser. They are sometimes represented by a simple apostrophe in English, or just by omitting the mark. Because of this rather chaotic situation, I made the main article use the "correct" (Hawaiian English) spelling, then added two redirect pages (one with apostrophe, one without any mark) so people could just type in the names on normal keyboards. I guess I don't have any particular view on how such things should be done in Wikipedia. Cheers, Daderot 19:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you added a redirect this is fine. I should have checked for that. Travelbird 20:01, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
