Converts various aliases/pen names of a person into a canonical name. Created primarily to be used inside template Lyricist, but may be expanded for composers as well.

The variant name (or names) should be added in all lowercase to the left of the equal sign, while the canonical name (which must be identical to the page title) goes after the equal sign.

Example

{{Alias|Horace}} returns Quintus Horatius Flaccus
