Title or Alias

Hello,

Alias strips all punctuation and special characters. So if you have that in your titles the URLs might differ.

Any chance of reconsidering your position on Titles or taking that on as a special project?  I have thousands of links that would need to be changed.

I might have a look on that as a custom job. But it's little harder to do in 2.5.

The problem are not just redirects, but the links on the site itself.  Please give the options some thought.

I don't think I'm going to be the only one looking for this.  Once 1.5 goes out of support, a lot of webmasters are going to realize this is a problem.

Would an automatic redirect with 301 header be sufficient? There was a similar thing in 1.5 version (redirect legacy URLs).

It's little harder to create full working URLs with punctuation in 2.5.

I need to think through what would be the best option.  I think I have two options:

I could change all the internal links Like-This-One to be links like-this-one

Or

I could try to get the 2.5 URIs like-this-one to be Like-This-One

I don't have special characters in my URIs.  The most frustrating part is I just upgraded to 1.5 and fixed a load of problems, now I'm faced with another one.
