That tweak will let you change the words considered to be articles, but it may not be the best tweak to change.

I'd suggest changing the sorting tweak under "Control sorting of title and series in the library display" to:
title_series_sorting = 'strictly_alphabetic'

The difference is subtle. If you change the sorting tweak as I suggest, the words "a" and "the" are still considered to be articles. Articles are used in several places, but one is in title matching for automerge. The following titles are all the same if you leave the default article list alone and just change the sorting order tweak.

Code:
A Place in the Sun
Place in the Sun
Place in the Sun, A
If you remove the words "a" and "the" from the article list, they are different titles to the automerge function. I've forgotten other places the article list is used. When enabled, automerge tries to identify books that have slight variations in the title as being the same, and if you remove the article list, you'll get far fewer matches.
