23558	document slugify limitations	Mikhail Korobov	David Hoffman	"Currently slugify docs say:

> slugify Converts to lowercase, removes non-word characters (alphanumerics and underscores) and converts spaces to hyphens. Also strips leading and trailing whitespace.

In Python 3:

{{{
>>> 'вася'.isalnum()
>>> True
}}}

but slugify doesn't work like documented for such strings. Isn't it a bug if something doesn't work as documented? 

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8391 was closed as wontfix. If there is no intention to make slugify work better it should be documented when it works and when people should find alternative solutions."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	1.7	Normal	fixed		mmitar@…	Accepted	1	0	0	0	1	0
