Duplicate feed

[cesy]

There appear to be two copies of the PhD comics feed: phd_comics_feed and phd_comics_feed. Can anyone spot why there isn't just one feed? Can they be merged?

One is the normal feed and one is a feed called "justcomics". I don't know how much non-comics material makes it in to the full feed. I've spotted a few other duplicates where there are multiple feeds from the same site; I think if they're actually the same content (say, a site has both RSS and Atom feeds), it's a different issue than if there are feeds to different content, which this may be.

There are other duplicates as well, I think... two for 538 and two for Sociological Images.

There is an admin tool for merging duplicate feed accounts, but it's broken at the moment, having never been updated for the Access/Subscribe split (since subscribers of both the initial accounts also have to be subscribed to the resultant account).

It's not scheduled to be fixed before open beta, but is something we're hoping to have fixed by launch proper.
