Admin purge of pointless aliases

[bkasten]

Also, that pointless 'word by word' title could do with being removed.

Agreed. I actually want all "word by word" Alias references removed from the DB. They are completely pointless. I will investigate the ubiquity of this and create another topic. I will probably perform a backend removal of them from the database.

Is it alright to remove 'word by word' titles as one comes across them in the DB, then?

[bkasten]

You can, but you do not need to. I am going to make the change in the back end database. Much faster. There are 154 of these.

These "Translation" aliases exist as well:

| 964 | 7074 | 1 | Next Generation of the Martial World | Translation |
| 1068 | 6333 | 1 | The Eighteen Forms of Martial Arts | Translation |
| 1329 | 5853 | 1 | Massive Brutal Massacre | Translation |
| 1492 | 8288 | 1 | Loving You to Wanting to Kill You | Translation |
| 1503 | 8293 | 1 | Not Another Romantic Novel | Translation |
| 3086 | 7395 | 1 | Cousin, you are great ! | Translation |

And this "Literal":
| 175 | 8371 | 1 | Extreme Serious Criminal | Literal |
| 176 | 8372 | 1 | Wind Cloud: Heroic Tyrant Heaven Earth | Literal |
| 177 | 8373 | 1 | New Love Era | Literal |

| 6325 | 13620 | 1 | Beggar So | Literal |

And 134 "Literal Translation"

And 39 "Meaning"

Thanks for bringing this up, Slaven. I had forgotten about this mess. We have nearly 15,000 Aliases in the DB and fortunately only a few hundred of these - some of which go back nearly 25 years.

Removal is complete.
