You know what? I wish we had a script that would 
create a custom variation of the article, based 
on how the reader accesses it.

Like if some looked for [[Occam's Razor]] they 
would find:

Occam's Razor (or Ockham's Razor), a principle 
attributed to William of Ockham... Modern scientists 
appeal to Occam's Razor when they assert, "The 
simplest hypothesis is best."

But if a user looked for [[Ockham's Razor]] they 
would find this variation:

Ockham's Razor (or Occam's Razor), a principle 
attributed to William of Ockham... Modern scientists 
appeal to Ockham's Razor when they assert, "The 
simplest hypothesis is best."

Of course, this would be difficult and cumbersome 
to do. There'd have to be script, and a syntax for 
invoking it. But this idea, if carried out, would 
help to alleviate feuds like Oder/Odra and Neisse/Nysa.
