--- Comment #7 from Carl Austin Bennett <carlb...@hotmail.com> ---
The `revision` table in the database contains two fields, `rev_user` for the
user number (0 if IP or unregistered) and `rev_user_text` for the actual
username. If the account didn't exist on the wiki at the time the import was
done, `rev_user` = 0 and `ref_user_text` = 'WMF Import' (or whatever name was
used). Because this is already in the database, creating the user now will only
affect new edits - not the existing contributions. It would be possible to
create the user, but then (short of a sysadmin using SQL commands like "update
`revision` set `rev_user` = (whatever) where `rev_user_text` = "WMF Import" "
directly on the server) I don't know of a way to get the contributions to
appear under the newly-created user.
