Affected version

As title...
They all appear in the GSC:

Where are these being linked from? The tag URLs should be deaccented and browsing around seems to show them being linked to the deaccented versions properly.

Yes it works well otherwise, I can't say how/where Google finds its URLs with accented tags.

If you put the URL into the inspector it will show you referring pages:

https://permaforo.net/tags/elevage/ comes from https://permaforo.net/tags/
(élevage)



In the XenForo tags page i can see all my accented tags but they are correctly linked to a deaccented URL.

I mean the URLs with the accent (ie. https://permaforo.net/tags/élevage). Unless those are linked from somewhere, then Google has basically just made up a URL and then complained that it does not exist.

https://permaforo.net/tags/élevage





But here too, the tag is correctly linked

Interesting. We've made some fixes to romanization in recent releases, and server changes (like whether PHP intl is available) can have some effect too, so it's possible that this is just a stale report that will drop off eventually. In any event, the bug fix here would have been to make sure they were linked properly so I don't think there's much more we can do in the meantime.

Yes I saw that there had been corrections for words in German it seems to me in 2.3.3, what is disturbing is that Google crawled these pages yesterday and the day before yesterday... I updated to 2.3.3 as soon as it has been released. I will follow this, I will see if it resolves itself as you say. Thank you.
