Bug #: 38585
Summary: Split user account
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Site configuration
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: mattbis...@yahoo.com
CC: benap...@gmail.com, wikimedia.b...@snowolf.eu
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
I was doing a rename on en.wiki of a user with 31,000 edits. The rename timed
out and when I re-loaded, there were two user accounts. One at the original
username and one at the target. Could a dev re-merge them into the target, as
clearly it was a system error for it to split one account into two accounts. I
also don't know which account the non-public data (password, email address,
etc) ended up residing with.
The rename is logged at
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&offset=&limit=1&type=renameuser&user=MBisanz&page=&tagfilter=&hide_patrol_log=1&hide_review_log=1
It involves http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Edinburgh_Wanderer being renamed
to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Blethering_Scot
