{{ghost_head}} and accents

[cathysarisky]

Issue Summary

My client has moved from Ghost fairly recently. From his old import, he has some links like
/tag/sécurité incendie/page/5/

Note the accent (and also spaces). Ghost actually deals with this, serving up the tags page for securite-indendie instead. However, when it writes out the metadata <link rel="prev" href (and also "next"), it uses the unadjusted form of the tag.

The behavior may be exacerbating search engine crawlers trying to visit the wrong form of the URL.

Steps to Reproduce

Add some random accents and spaces to an existing tag. For example:
https://www.spectralwebservices.com/topic/advanc%C3%A9d%20topics/ (should be advanced-topics)

Hmm, reading back through this - it sounds like the import allowed the creation of a post where the slug field had the accented chars?

I don't think that's meant to be possible 🤔

@erinds, I don’t believe that’s the case. Did you see my link? Those accents have never been on the post, but they appear in the meta data when requested, which stops search engines from learning the right accent-free form.
