Clean up the mess of my mass move of Tools access requests
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

User names whose tools access requests need to be fixed.

Recently, someone (well, actually two people) had used [[wikitech:Nova Resource:Tools/Access Request]] to file their requests and in the effort to correct this, I clicked "Move subpages (up to 100)" which was very, very wrong.

So I tried moving those 100 pages back, but had a off-by-one error on the first try, which led to some pages being moved wrongly again, while the rest worked.

Now I'm stuck with lots of redirects in two groups:

a) Superfluous redirect rests (move A to B to A, B is no longer needed),
b) the redirects from my off-by-one move that block moving the access pages back to their correct location (move A to B to C, then trying to move to A gives an error).

I've carefully replaced all redirects that can be deleted with "{{deleted}}", so someone with delete privileges needs to work the pages in [[Category:Page deletion queue]] under [[wikitech:Nova Resource:Tools/Access Request]].

After that, the access request pages of 52 users remain to be moved to their correct position (cf. attachment). They need to be moved from (concat "Nova Resource:Tools/Access Request/" (substring username 1)) to (concat "Nova Resource:Tools/Access Request/" username). Afterwards, the redirect rests have to be removed as well.

And to check that all is fine, finally, for all pages in [[wikitech:Category:Tools Access Requests]], check that the "User Name" parameter in each page correlates to the page title.
