Full ACK In addition people who try to type URLs themselves often use what they learned from Wikipedia: "Type it in your style". Which means the following URLs are the same, too: * xx.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some Thing * xx.wikipedia.org/wiki/Some_Thing * xx.wikipedia.org/wiki/some thing Or to sum this up: Most of the time there is more needed to fit all the needs professional users want (slash appended or not, whitespace/dash/underscore are the same, URL is case-insensitive, special chars are translated on the fly (e.g. umlauts, รค -> ae)). So this definitely needs to be put into your own middleware or view (which does the redirect).
