The ''penumbra'' of a name is defined to be the "cloud" of variant versions of the name, each of which is REDIRECTEd back to the name. The variant versions will include versions in other languages, variant orders of words and common mis-spellings. It will also include [[flatten]]ings of the term.

Thus for example the penumbra of "Université Nancy 2" includes the English version "University of Nancy 2" and the flattened French version "Universite Nancy 2" (without the acute accent).

The purpose of the penumbra is to improve the likelihood of a search reaching the desired term, especially for non-native speakers of the language in question.

It is a matter of editorial judgement and feasibility how large the penumbra is around each name.
