Article title
I think this one should be titled Sjögren's syndrome and use the Swedish spelling throughout. --Daniel Mietchen 13:57, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- I had considered that, but Medical Subject Headings does not use it, and, in general, I believe that should be our authority. Oh, it's reasonable to deviate from MeSH on things such as rearranging phrases to avoid commas (e.g., Hodgkin's lymphoma -- not lymphoma, Hodgkin's) and their tendency to overcapitalize and to make singular things plural.
- We need to articulate the behavior of diacritical marks in searches and wikilinks. If they are ignored, I don't have a problem, but if a search without them will miss, I think general user convenience trumps language. In your example, Sjögren's syndrome is a redlink, indicating diacritics are considered in wikilinking. Howard C. Berkowitz 14:29, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
