It was used right after Wikivoyage joined Wikimedia to reconcile their accounts with SUL. It was mostly luck that nothing bad happened, as well as the fact Wikivoyage was pretty small (relatively speaking) so it didn't run into the performance problems that exist. There was an attempt during/after SUL finalization to create a global user merge tool, but it never worked out in reality. > If my assessment is correct, then it should be marked as "Legacy" > on translatewiki.

This seems appropriate, though as Marco mentioned, we should probably just undeploy it from Wikimedia now (figuring out something about log entries). - -- Legoktm -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEE2MtZ8F27ngU4xIGd8QX4EBsFJpsFAlxG5isACgkQ8QX4EBsF Jps8iBAAjq7oMtGvIxTYOwsm3pgIaxkukZedgvHeGDeYMUgqXG/ancqgxGh6FiZB 15duV/evbGntHB9+Zj0j9Sbah/ub50Toawk7kmwsvDun/e0uo/jWHUibAQgIxBsn 6qj0oVyRZy+p0FNMYIOdGMdGHYzupAntOBFt6MUB3MEbLsXGNTmmzM+c5+cyQuHq bjBINDKV6PISZzn/AIoNgjzj7x92q9duvEyK8movkv4cijH7DlBS+IYR+6yy+t10 oxCIMJ1SObnCUNf+rWfTaM0vs+pNdqfd4kWHLqc+s35xVJV5eLT6jtR5KKbpSffc UEk9I8lj79Ul0a0jv+xChNt+CId6Z+fma50NMgDV43eU8eYihujEwiRbDwvSA3k+ HRUkq/LxKU6P2zi+whSLdCwEyiq57NMRpLCgTmpGY9VD6sZkYrHH8bmqvUlvirfQ L4cSk6Ijqqrg6Ei7Z6kIfOTOPKNAHvgBuZ5Pzud/B5jBkth2A3z0pkml7uba02/2 +xM5hAajQIWOQOi/KyHXY/8+DZAPnUySpacMiFBmZf4IdKDMCg8mLJkmu40sWofV zvegaplxUyZPCVjjQVkEH1DocxjHVG6TYJKlHx5uqd67o0qj5YtVTByvgiP/HkKV oKA3fZURvNwAUgU/TnRH7vXb0DsEEJjjTA25GZzruYK672iAH8o= =D376 -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
Re: [Wikitech-l] UserMerge extension on Wikimedia sites
Yes, it's installed, but it doesn't seem to be actually used. The English Wikivoyage has a bunch of log entries of its usage, the last in 2015. Other Wikimedia sites have very few entries, or none at all. My guess, and please do correct me if I'm wrong, is that it was used on Wikitravel or Wikivoyage, and that it is still installed for backwards compatibility so as not to break the logs or the global user accounts data, but it is not completely compatible with other Wikimedia sites, so it can't be used either. If my assessment is correct, then it should be marked as "Legacy" on translatewiki. This doesn't mean it will be removed; it will remain available for translation. It just means that translators who want to focus on completing the translation of extensions that are used on Wikimedia sites will know that it's not used much, and it's not a high priority to translate it, and will translate something more important first. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Re: [Wikitech-l] UserMerge extension on Wikimedia sites
AFAIR it was at very risk of breaking the Internet, so it went into a limbo of being installed but never used. Vito Il giorno mar 22 gen 2019 alle ore 08:46 Amir E.

Re: [Wikitech-l] UserMerge extension on Wikimedia sites
Hello, UserMerge as it is right now is unusable for Wikimedia sites, and thus no user (bureaucrats, etc.) is allowed to use it. The extension is now up for a Code Stewarship Review to decide what to do with it < https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T204747>, and I am proposing to undeploy the extension from WMF sites given those issues. That said, the extension might work for translatewiki where there are no CentralAuth, FlaggedRevs and many other features which tend to be problematic with UserMerge, as far as I was told.

[Wikitech-l] UserMerge extension on Wikimedia sites
Hi, Is the UserMerge extension actually used on Wikimedia sites? As far as I can see, it is only installed on Wikivoyage, and the last log entries of its usage are from 2015. However, it's possible that I'm missing something. The reason I'm asking is that I'd love to know how to configure it best in translatewiki. If it's not actually used on Wikimedia sites or developed significantly, then it should be filed under "Legacy".
