Description

I just started adding some French labels to instruments on UMIL and, first of all, the UI for adding labels is really nice! I like how UMIL checks whether the proposed new label is already on Wikidata (it saved me from embarrassment a couple of times). But I have a question about aliases:

I added the French label "terpodium" to the [Terpodion](https://umil.linkedmusic.ca/instrument/3466/) page. That page already had a French label "terpodion," so my label got added as an alias, like so:

My question is, what if I made a mistake or something and want to remove the "terpodium" alias? Is it possible to do that without removing "terpodion" as well? If not, I think that would be a useful function, as it could be possible that an instrument has, say, five aliases in English, four of which are right, but one of which is wrong and should be removed.

Also! If I add a label in a new language, that new label appears with an `Unverified` tag. But if my label is added as an alias, there's no `Unverified` tag, so there's no way for another user to know that this new alias hasn't been approved yet. Do we care?
