User:Polygnotus/Scripts/DeduplicateReferences
This scripts deduplicates references that are exact duplicates. It ignores inexact duplicates. It tries to come up with a reasonable name. I can be used in addition to User:Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences. I recommend User:Nardog/RefRenamer which provides a handy interface for renaming references.
There is a testpage over at User:Polygnotus/Scripts/DeduplicateReferencesTest.
