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.
