Connect sceners/handles
I've found a couple of cases where I want to associate a scener with a (previously used) handle. Problem is that the handle already exists in terms of a scener. (Did that make sense?).
Example: Scorpie and The Wolf needs to be connected in some way. How can this be achieved? Right now, I've made a comment in the Trivia field, but I believe it should be possible to use the "Other handles" field instead? |

if you are sure they are the same person, then make a forum post and some moderator or trusted user will merge the entries (there is no good/automatic way to do this for users) |

Couldn't one, or both, profiles be linked using "other handles" in either profile? |

Well that was what I was thinking too, but "Other handles" doesn't let you seem to connect to something that already exists. It only lets you create a new handle... |

I think the linking is not the big problem.
This here is when things get messy imho

one nick for the same person but two matches just because someone changed his nick back... |

And here's another one... Quark and Xerox. I believe Xerox is the main handle. Has even been discussed before, see Handle id #11303 : Quark. |

Another merger that needs to be done im sure it was merged before. Taken from Unifier trivia (
I also used the handles Beastian and The Future Brain (T.F.B.) for early embarrassing work.)
Unifier and Beastian |

Sharky should merge with Rocha based on his own words in Trivia section (or rather the other way around). |

And Navigator with Stingray, according to the same source - although it appears more likely that the Austrian Stingray who was a member of The Future Boys (Austria) was different from the German one that was a member of Hurricane and The Destroyer Crew (both Germany), although he could have also moved from Austria to Germany... Anyone knows more perhaps? |

Of course. Contacted Zexto and asked directly. Got a lot of information regarding Stage (founders, founding year, names of sceners etc). |

Then there must've been some kind of confusion at some point which should be sorted out first since neither their name or country matches. I believe we have either two different Mathews or two Sonixes to deal with here, or both, and if so nothing should be merged really but instead new entries created and the mess get sorted out. |

Ok, it's fixed.
Xak is a dupe though so things must be moved manually. |

You could have just added a new handle instead of creating a different entry ... |
