User:SuchAndSuchWork

For this account the plan is to use it for simpler editing work such as:


 * Fixing typos. Typo Team.
 * Fixing links to disambiguation pages. Disambiguation pages with links.

Possibly more categories will be added as time goes on.

Creation of alternative account User:SuchAndSuchWork
Took a look at Username_policy and from there Sockpuppetry which has:


 * Maintenance: An editor might use an alternative account to carry out maintenance tasks, or to segregate functions so as to maintain a user talk page dedicated to the purpose. The second account should be clearly linked to the main account.

Username_policy also has:

It is recommended that contributors not use multiple accounts without good reason.

I created User:SuchAndSuchWork on September 3, 2020, and I'd say the purpose was just to have an account for doing simpler editing such as fixing typos and disambiguation links; say for example when feeling a bit tired. I wanted to get away from articles that are receiving more attention and so are generating more discussion.

In practice when working on disambiguation links I would tend to do other editing to try to improve things that I happened to see. It is true though that the articles I worked on in that way tended to be ones that aren't getting much attention.

Anyway, one result of having two accounts, is that there are two different lists of contributions, and so I think this could be helpful if looking back at contributions to find an earlier edit.
