While doing some analysis, I found a strange inconsistency. The ServerSideAccountCreation <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema:ServerSideAccountCreation> event logs show a user with the ID *26048397* and the name *Dhava2nd* being created on the English Wikipedia at 2015-08-20 01:38:57. (Those logs do *not *record autocreations).
However, that user ID doesn't exist in `enwiki.users`. The user Dhava2nd does exist <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Dhava2nd>, but with the user ID *26048409 *(twelve numbers later) and a registration date of 2015-08-20 01:41:07 (two minutes later). Special:Log says that <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/Dhava2nd> that the enwiki account was autocreated, but the centralauth database says the enwiki account was the initial creation, and that occurred at 2015-08-20 01:38:59. In my cohort, this was the first user out of about 80,000 to have a problem like this. Does anyone know what's going on? Is this issue documented anywhere? -- Neil P.
