AKA

Submitted by ascii on Mon, 2006-04-24 23:41. Site Maintenance

Person/Company pages now have a new field: AKA. Freelinking links will search the AKA field if there is no match among page titles. So now AXE and Ian Slavin should link to the same page, for example.

NB. text matches must be exact. This means that only one alternative moniker can go in the AKA field.

I suggest we stick to a convention, that real names are used in page titles if at all possible, and the moniker goes in the AKA field.

If there are mutiple aliases should they just be listed in the AKA field or will that break the freelinking search, for example Lee Willis was ‘Mad Moog’ and later ‘Bubel’?

For the moment, only one will work. If you put two in the AKA field, a freelink would need to include them both in order to hit. I may, at some point, manage to implement comma separated alternatives or something.
