That sounds like an argument for making "hard" links where both titles
are equally authoritative---i.e. "traveling" and "travelling" are
both
top-level titles, but in fact are the same page.
The current solution, making them different pages, is IMO much worse
than favoring one or the other, since it requires people to basically
copy/paste definitions across multiple pages, and make sure changes stay
in sync. Look, for example, at "traveling" versus "travelling",
which
currently actually have wildly different content despite being the same
word with a minor variation in spelling (this was the first example I
checked).
I do wonder why they don't simply redirect both to [[traveling,
travelling]]. Of course, I'm not an active wiktionarian, so I wouldn't
know. It sounds so obvious that it's probably a perennial proposal.
But *which one would go first*?
(I'll bet you people would fight over that, too.)
