You can't remove aliases, only add new.

The set_aliases function take a list of strings as parameters, check if the alias already exist or not and add the missings one to the list. At the moment, we can't (afaik) remove alias on an item.

I propose two options (breaking changes) :

• Update the set_aliases function to test if aliases parameters is a string or list :
  • If a string, add the alias to the aliases (if missing)
  • If a list, replace all the current aliases by the new list
• Update the set_aliases function and add a new add_alias :
  • set_aliases take a list of string as parameter and replace the current aliases by the new ones
  • add_alias take a string as parameter and add it to the current list of aliases

I don't know which one is better, but atm we don't have any add or rem functions, only get and set.

This issue is open for comments. :wink:

Another issues with the aliases:

• You can pass a string in set_aliases() and wikidataintegrator parse this into multiple aliases
• The fastrun seem to don't detect changes when you try to remove multiple aliases but not all.
