`set-alias-page.py` generates misleading pages

The get_alias_page function doesn't do its job properly. This script then works on non-alias pages, and subsequently makes a huge mess by generating misleading pages. It also has some issues with page titles that contain spaces.

Examples: #11365.
Previous runs of this script:

set-alias-page.py should not be used until this is fixed.

We could add a warning in the script to make people aware of this issue. Only mentioning here that the script should not be used, is too less visible for others

I see that It already has a warning at the top of the script:
