Template:Redirect from titles without diacritics/Explanation

Explanation
An ASCII character is an alphanumeric character or one of several standard keyboard symbols (see article for more).

A diacritical mark is a symbol added to a letter that functions to change its pronunciation, meaning, or other characteristic. Accents and umlauts are examples of diacritical marks. Conversely, ligatures and standard Greek letters are not diacritical.

Names using such characters are not searchable to many TrainStation Wiki users (i.e., they cannot be typed in the search bar without using advanced technical knowledge or additional aids such as keyboard mapping software). For the titles that properly do and should use special characters and diacritics, per Wikipedia naming conventions and the TrainStation Wiki Style Guide, their romanized equivalents should be redirected and listed using the template Redirect from title without diacritics. The template R to diacritics has a shorter name, making it quicker and easier to type. These two templates are identical in function.
