apply_filters( 'wp_insert_term_duplicate_term_check', object $duplicate_term, string $term, string $taxonomy, array $args, int $tt_id )

Since
5.1.0
Filters the duplicate term check that takes place during term creation.

Description

Term parent + taxonomy + slug combinations are meant to be unique, and wp_insert_term() performs a last-minute confirmation of this uniqueness before allowing a new term to be created. Plugins with different uniqueness requirements may use this filter to bypass or modify the duplicate-term check.
