Thank you for tagging this task with good first task for Wikimedia newcomers!

Newcomers often may not be aware of things that may seem obvious to seasoned contributors, so please take a moment to reflect on how this task might look to somebody who has never contributed to Wikimedia projects.

A good first task is a self-contained, non-controversial task with a clear approach. It should be well-described with pointers to help a completely new contributor, for example it should clearly point to the codebase URL and provide clear steps to help a contributor get set up for success. We've included some guidelines at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/good_first_task/ !

Thank you for helping us drive new contributions to our projects <3

Change #1289383 had a related patch set uploaded (by VadymTS1; author: VadymTS1):

[mediawiki/core@master] Alias `Special:LockDatabase` to `Special:LockDB`, and `Special:UnlockDatabase` to `Special:UnlockDB`

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1289383

I don't see the need for this alias as I've said on the patch:

• This special page is by intention used very infrequently and by specific experienced users, so those users are likely to know what the name is or know how to find it via Special:SpecialPages
• The task doesn’t provide any more justification than along the lines of "a user might misremember the name" and I personally don't see how this name is any easier to remember
• Creating extra aliases adds additional translation burden, so I'd rather not do it unless the alias would be useful

Hence my down vote on this task

Removing good first task as this is clearly not uncontroversial.
