--- Comment #27 from Trijnstel <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #25) > Just a few notes on this, in case someone wants to launch in: > > * There probably needs to be a new global rename permission > * The basic functionality is: > ** Make sure the target username isn't already a global name in CentralAuth > ** Make sure the target username is available on all wikis where the user has > attached accounts > ** Update globalnames, globaluser, localnames, localuser > ** For each attached wiki, add a job to do the rename on the local wiki > * The account(s) will probably need to be locked during this whole process, > since if the user logs in between the time when the global account is renamed > and the local wiki is renamed, bad things will happen. And it might be also useful to give a warning when the username is in use somewhere (no global account, but unattached accounts on some wikis where the user doesn't have to be renamed). Just a suggestion. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
