Details

Currently AMO allows add-ons to have the same name like another add-on. This should be prohibited. Furthermore, names which look similar should also be prohibited (at least by policy, better by a phishing check algorithm).

Example: URL suffix (extension)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7591
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/443

Do we check names across locales?  What is the error message?  Are we doing the "algorithm" and if so, how?  -> DDN
Whiteboard: [ddn]
Yes, across locales. We used to have this check but removed it when we added l10n support.

We don't need an algorithm.

The error message is "This add-on name is already in use. Please choose another."

This is built into the forms, so as long as people are using the forms to handle add-ons, we're safe.
