It is wrong to use "RJ" as the alias of the city since it is an abbreviation of the state name. The capital and the state has the same name but only the state can be called "RJ". Its is similar to São Paulo, as the state and capital have the same name, but São Paulo (Q174) doesn't have "SP" as alias.

It is useful to put common errors in the aliases, since then those making that mistake can be redirected to the proper name (the label itself, and/or the name properties in the body of the item). If you wish it to be clear that it is an erroneous usage rather than simply an alternate one, you can put '(erroneous usage)' (or equivalent for other languages) immediately after the alias text in the alias field.
