+"""
+In this script we are asking for a worker_id, but we are actually using it as a worker_name.
+In the database a worker_id is a number like 1 or 2, while a worker_name is like "x_sandbox".
+However, when looking at an url like: http://localhost:3000/?worker_id=x&assignment_id=45
+the worker_id is "x".
+
+As the user is more likely to think of the worker_id as "x" instead of 1, we
+are calling the worker_name, the worker_id.
+
+In the url example above, this script would first check if there are any workers with the name x.
+If there is one, then that worker's onboarding qualification will be revoked. If there are
+more than one worker with that name the script aborts.
+
+If there are no workers with that name, it then tries the name "x_sandbox". The _sandbox
+affix is commonly attached to worker names in the backend, so that is why "x_sandbox"
+is also tried.
