[Bug 60303] SUL recreation of renamed users should be prevented
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60303 --- Comment #1 from writ.keeper.e...@gmail.com --- I have a few examples of this happening in the wild, but because of the aforementioned privacy issues, I'm reluctant to discuss them unless necessary. I can probably dig up some non-private examples, too, though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60303 --- Comment #2 from Snowolf wikimedia.b...@snowolf.eu --- This should be handled thru global rename procedures, imo: after a global rename, the source username is either (a) deleted or (b) forced to login again. More likely (a). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60303 --- Comment #3 from writ.keeper.e...@gmail.com --- Well, my primary concern is the immediate privacy issues, wherein users that have gotten their real names removed from their usernames are inadvertently spreading their real names hither and thither. I agree that, once SUL finalization is...finalized...this ceases to be an issue, but until then (and last I checked, that date was still TBD), I think that this is a serious enough issue to warrant some kind of action. For clarity: the recreation cooldown should only apply locally (i.e. on the wiki where the user was renamed), not globally. It doesn't completely solve the problem, but it'll help. Forcing a re-login after a rename would also help, to a somewhat lesser extent (it might not cover the case where a browser autopoulates the username). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
