English Wikipedia user PamD comments:
"Editing [[Pikku-Vesijärvi]] I noticed that VE's suggested DEFAULTSORT was
exactly the title. VE should be set to drop the diacriticals when suggesting
DEFAULTSORT - should have been "Pikku-Vesijarvi" with a plain "a"."

Looking at some other wikis it seems some do use diacritics in DEFAULTSORT (at
least the Czech and Estonian ones do at [[cs:Édith Piaf]] and [[et:Édith Piaf])
so this seems like something that should be configurable based on each wiki's
policy.
