Processing duplicate item profiles
Describe the bug
When an item is erroneously created, either as a duplicate or to address something that is no longer needed, there is no process to delete or remove it.
If addressed quickly, merging or editing item is sufficient. However, for old items, this may break exported collections, especially if the item is recycled.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Go to https://barter.vg/i/60852/
- Decide that this item is no longer needed
- What should happen next to reduce disruptions and improve backwards compatibility?
Expected behavior
URI should remain consistent as long as possible, but if they do change, there should be an easy way to do so without manually changing several things every time. Collections, bundles, related, title matches, ITAD links.
Additional context, device information (OS & Browser) if applicable
This will be useful when cleaning up #240
Deleting items or not is indeed a important topic to discuss.
I will mention that there are duplicate / redirect items that are "valid" Tools and such, just useless as tradables. These have to be considered.
