No we should
not make the aliases unique, the reason aliases are
useful is because they are
_not_ unique.
They are still usefil if they are not unique because search is fuzzy : if you
search “whatever” you'll see both “wathever one” AND “whatever2” in the results …
For search, they are still useful. For addressign things from wikitext, they do
not work if they< are not unique.
