In T125801: Enable namespace aliases on Maithili Wikipedia (maiwiki) a 'CA' namespace alias is added to maiwiki. But it conflicts with language code. So it should be removed.

Change #1031533 had a related patch set uploaded (by Dreamrimmer; author: Dreamrimmer):
[operations/mediawiki-config@master] maiwiki: Remove 'CA' namespace alias
Per recent changes this wiki has hardly any community to speak of anyway, and the namespace alias doesn't seem to be used per search
I dislike this sort of forced action on principle, but I guess in practice it is reasonable.
Assuming I’m not doing the search wrong, it looks like the namespace alias is unused on the wiki:
(Note that an alternative search using the localized namespace name yields plenty of results, so I think the search is at least not totally broken in principle.r
Pfft, and I just realized I duplicated @Pppery’s work there 🤦
let’s call it a successful application of the two-person rule ;)
