+issue

I am trying to rename a metric to this: "Direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 1), GRI 305-1-a (formerly G4-EN15-a)". I got the error that this name already exists, but I cannot find the existing card

I had the same error renaming this metric title card https://wikirate.org/Indirect_greenhouse_gas_GHG_emissions_Scope_2_G4_EN16_a to "Indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 2), GRI 305-2 (formerly G4-EN16-a)", which is also not a card that I can find on WR (though it says the name already exists).

Why does this ticket say it was created today but the discussion comment was on Friday?

Good question. Because I renamed it, and it weirdly just created a duplicate ticket: https://wikirate.org/Ticket%20rename%20not%20possible%20and%20incorrect%20error%20message

(comment in the discussion on that ticket around the duplication error)

When you're renaming, you're checking the second box (the one about adding an alias/redirect) and not the first one ("do not update references to this name"), right?

Yes! You can even see it in the other (duplicate) ticket screenshot:)

I'm going to close this duplicate one...
