Ambiguous meaning of 'usurp'
The section Repairing a usurped link states that:
- "Some organizations [...] 'usurp' them to create spam and scam sites"
- "There is an automated system for usurping entire domains"
The second seems an incorrect application of the term. The linked page on Usurpations uses "usurpify" for the repair process, which still seems somewhat backwards but at least it is not the literal verb for the scam itself. IvanovKirilG (talk) 13:36, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
