@MBeat33 I just deployed this as I showed you today. I created a match for Barb & Barbara & then did a dedupe specifically on first_name = Barb. About 2/3 of the ones that came up I was able to merge with 'safe merge'.
Things I noticed
- Saving Barb/ Barbara is not applying to barb/barbara - resolving this https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T242156 might address
- there is something funny with the paging going on (no phab yet)
- the batch merge button kinda times out on the deduper screen (no phab yet)
- we might think about setting the deduper back to the start of the DB to work it's way through now it's picking up a lot more
