[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Created] T203337: The wbeditentity API does not support setting aliases to an empty set

[Danmichaelo]

Danmichaelo created this task. Danmichaelo added projects: MediaWiki-extensions-WikibaseRepository, Wikidata. Restricted Application added a subscriber: Aklapper.

TASK DESCRIPTION

According to the docs, "you can either add or remove aliases individually, or send the full set of aliases for a language". But it seems like sending the full set of aliases is not supported if the set is empty?

Steps to reproduce:

Make a wbeditentity request with data set to {"aliases":{"en":[]}}

Expected result:

Existing English aliases are removed.

Actual result:

No changes are made.
