 Can you explain why you wrote this code?
 Why do you think you need to use the nickname?

 The code in the ticket description is:
 {{{
         elif md:
             # Not yet implemented, see #33428
             # r'^id ed25519 " + ed25519_identity (end of line)
             # needs ed25519-identity from #30642
             # or the existing keys/ed25519_master_id_public_key
 }}}

 > Am I following the right way, because I checked in the cached-
 microdescs.new file, and the ed25519 key was just after the string "id
 ed25519" and there was no nickname like for ''desc'' and ''cons'' in the
 file ''cached-microdesc-consensus'' and ''cached-microdescs.new''. teor,
 nickm , can you confirm ? If not, where am I wrong? Kindly guide me and
 Thank you.

 Regular expressions are patterns that are matched against each line. You
 can read a short introduction here:
 https://docs.python.org/3/howto/regex.html

 Remember how we just loaded ed25519-id in #33428 ?

 Maybe it could be useful here.
