Open, LowPublicFeature

Description

Follow-up to task: T196601: Support renames in Special:ManageMessageGroups

See documentation - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xmjiuo53gZyuPjPCBuE-3jqb_yN751Mjd-I-Xa6Yr9U/edit?usp=sharing

Things to do,

  1. Update processMessageChanges.php
  2. Decide the algorithm to use to determine the similar messages
  3. Update UI to show fuzzy matches and match %

We decided to break up the original task. The first task will setup the UI changes, the necessary infrastructure while this task will then focus on implementing message renames.

Current status

Detection of simple renames (same content, maybe even case insensitive) is there, with fuzzying support. Renames with minor changes are not detected automatically, but can be done manually.
