A simple request:  Please can you add an Alias field for Location pages
 
Muir Island has also been known as Muir Isle.  The Massachusetts Academy was also known as Xavier's School for the Gifted.  Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning was also known as the Xavier's School for the Gifted. 
 
And now, Asteroid M has been redubbed Utopia.  However, someone has created a duplicate page and called that Utopia, whereas it's the same location. 
 
This used to be a little thing that annoyed the pedant in me, but now that we're getting duplicate pages I think that an Alias would be convenient and prevent future confusion.

Not just the Utopia dupe, but just in general.  Xavier's School for the Gifted has had a couple of different names for different locations.  An Alias would make it more accurate at the very least.  I know it's low priority, but it could still be useful :)

It would be nice. Also, objects having aliases would be nice too. Both would cut back on dupes.

I often come up with things that might be useful.

@aztek the lost said:
"Maybe what we need is a thread specifically for a list of possible features, because one's like this (not locations specifically but just aliases for pages other then characters - specifically creators) have been mentioned for ages. "
There used to be this, but it seems to have been abandoned after the latest face-lift.
