-- IN PROGRESS/INCOMPLETE

-- Page intersections between a reference actor and a ban evasion source i.e. a sockmaster and their logged and/or categorized socks.
-- Edit counts for the ban evasion source and their sock accounts are summed.
-- The query gets the actor_ids for the sockmaster, accounts categorized as suspected or confirmed socks of the sockmaster
-- and accounts where relevant block log entries include the sockmaster. Inconsistencies in the way socks are logged and categorized
-- means that the set of ban evading accounts for a given ban evasion source may be incomplete. The sockmaster AndresHerutJaim is an
-- example where this is the case.  

-- NOTE: It would seem to be more elegant and efficient to place the 3 queries that select the actor_id values
-- for the sockmaster and their socks in a single CTE with unions, then make a single join to the revision_userindex view, 
-- but this appears to cause the server to mysteriously choose an inefficient execution plan. Directly joining as a subquery
-- rather than using a CTE doesn't help either.

-- Separating the sock queries and joins to the revisions into individual CTEs, then unioning those result sets in a separate CTE,
-- somewhat counterintuitively appears to help the server choose a better execution plan.

-- Reference account to be compared with the ban evasion set.
set @x = 'Huldra'; 

-- sockmaster - ban evasion account operator label used in SPI/logs/category graph, not always the oldest account.
set @y = 'Icewhiz';
