Task/s:remove redundant aliases

Code:User:AkkakkBot/code/08-remove-redundant-aliases

Function details:will remove aliases that are the same as the label. example --Akkakk 09:15, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Actually, I do not see having the label in the aliasas as a bad thing. This way, if we add a new label, the older one does not get completely lost. --Zolo (talk) 09:22, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

with this argumentation - maybe i should add aliases then. --Akkakk 09:47, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

That would be fine with me, but I can imagine the raised eyebrows - and doing it in all items may not really be that useful.--Zolo (talk) 20:04, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I think that a larger discussion (RfC maybe) would definitely be needed for mass-adding aliases. The Anonymouse [talk] 17:19, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Maybe the bot should watch for edits changing the label which do not add the older one to the aliases (except those edits which are fixing the capitalization of the label). Helder.wiki 20:52, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

maybe a bot should do that. i won't. (i won't mass add aliases identically to the label either. if there is no consensus to remove them, then just cancel this request)--Akkakk 14:12, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Closing as not approved for now, then. In case there happens to be consensus for such a task at some point, a new request may be submitted. Vogone (talk) 15:40, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
