Topic: Add note to help search similar thms
Yi.Yuan (Aug 20 2025 at 14:27):
here are two similar theorems (Int.le_induction_down) and (Nat.decreasingInduction'). Having different names for these two is not very convenient when searching for theorems. Should I add a note under Nat.decreasingInduction that says 'The version for Int, see Int.le_induction_down'?"
Aaron Liu (Aug 20 2025 at 14:28):
or maybe rename one of them
Yi.Yuan (Aug 20 2025 at 14:28):
If so, #27443 is my PR. Could someone please help review it?

So, how can I find all the places where these theorems have appeared in mathlib?
Aaron Liu (Aug 20 2025 at 14:32):
deprecate one of the names and look at the build warnings
Yi.Yuan (Aug 20 2025 at 14:33):
So maybe I should change Int.le_induction_down to Int.decreasingInduction
Eric Wieser (Aug 20 2025 at 14:35):
The naming difference is because one is for Prop and the other Sort
Yi.Yuan (Aug 20 2025 at 14:38):
However, they are quite similar to each other.
Aaron Liu (Aug 20 2025 at 14:48):
Maybe we should generalize docs#Int.le_induction_down to be for Sort*
Ruben Van de Velde (Aug 20 2025 at 15:40):
Yes, that seems sensible
