The Vietnamese Wiktionary uses redirects for systematic variations involving diacritics, for example xoá to xóa, whereas the English Wiktionary does not. This probably doesn't show up in interwiki stats because the English Wiktionary has relatively few Vietnamese words and the French and Chinese Wiktionaries have little coverage of these variations (which affect maybe a tenth of the overall corpus). On the flip side, automatically normalizing diacritics would be problematic for the same reasons described in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T78485. It wouldn't be the end of the world for the Vietnamese Wiktionary to turn its redirects into soft redirects to preserve these links, but soft redirects are highly inconvenient for very systematic variations.
