IABot is adding duplicate archive-date and access-date parameters to refs that already have an archivedate or accessdate parameter
Closed, DuplicatePublicBUG REPORT

Description

List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):
I ran IABot on my watchlist, and have since noticed that a number of editors have needed to clean up duplicate parameters it created.

What happens?:
IABot, at least in some articles, is adding an "archive-date" parameter to references that already have an archivedate parameter and an "access-date" parameter to refs that already have an "accessdate" parameter.

What should have happened instead?:
Shouldn't have added the duplicate parameter, or should have just changed accessdate/archivedate to access-date/archive-date.
