Re: [Wikimedia-l] WikiJournal project

[Peter Southwood]

When Wikivoyage joined WMF as a fork from Wikitravel they had to deal with the 
same problem. It should be in the records somewhere. It wasn’t a big deal from 
memory. I had the same username on both anyway. A few people had to change when 
there were conflicts, and a few dropped one name as redundant.
Cheers,
Peter

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] WikiJournal project

Hi! So there's a sprouting project called WikiJournal 
, the basic idea of 
which is to develop an open peer-reviewed academic journal, where we can all 
publish our research, and also, maybe, permalinks to Wikipedia articles that 
have been peer-reviewed (featured articles) together with the names of the main 
author(s), so as to give some well-deserved credit.

Anyway, the thing is that recently, we've been talking to the owner of 
wikijournal.org, a fairly similar project with the perfect domain name, and he 
has agreed to a merge. So now we're all excited trying to figure out the 
details of the merge, and there's one particular issue I'd like to ask about. 
If we migrate the content we currently have (on Meta and
Wikiversity) to wikijournal.org, and the project grows, and eventually gets 
accepted as a sister-project (as we hope), how will we merge the user accounts? 
Should we not worry about it, and we'll figure it out when the time comes? Or 
should we totally worry about it, and adopt some strategy about it now? What's 
your advice on this issue? I've been looking around for documentation but the 
most relevant one  seems 
to have no advice on this point.

Thanks for any input!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WikiJournal project

You can think about relying upon WMF OAuth to login to wikijournal.
Basically anyone would be able to login to wikijournal using their WMF
wikis' credentials. If you make this the sole way to login you'll end up
having an already-ready-to-merge userbase.

Note: This post is my personal view and in no way represents any official
WMF position.

My personal guess is that it would wind up being done something like how
accounts on WikiVoyage were handled: people who used the same username on
both WikiVoyage and Wikimedia wikis were able to merge those accounts,
people whose usernames weren't already in use on Wikimedia wikis were able
to claim those names, and other people had to be renamed. Or at least it
seems that's what was done based on the plan document on mediawiki.org[1]
and the process page on en.wikivoyage.org.[2]

To reduce the number of people who would need renaming should the time
come, you might start using an extension like OAuthAuthentication[3] to
authenticate against Meta, and disable any further local account creations.
