Summary: Merge different accounts on same wiki
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: User login/settings
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Hello.
If someone create an account A on a wiki, and after create an account B on same
wiki, of course, without renaming, this person stay with two different accounts
there.
The idea is implement a mechanism to merge these accounts, where the user would
choose one of the usernames to be the "main", and the contributions would be
stay together. In part, this is like Special:Renameuser.
Certainly, the user have to prove that owns the two accounts and after this, he
or she will login with the username chosen to be the "main", as well the user,
user talk and history pages will show the content of the main account.
Preferably, the user and talk page of the other username should be deleted,
because it'll be impracticable to merge.
I hope this will be implemented and will help a lot of people.
Thanks.
