Elvey <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #5 from Elvey <[email protected]> --- I changed my email address; now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ConfirmEmail says: "Confirm e-mail address Your e-mail address was authenticated on March 1, 2013 at 21:17. You must validate your e-mail address in order to use e-mail features. Click the button below to send a confirmation e-mail to your address. Then, follow the instructions in the e-mail. To check whether you have already confirmed, please see your preferences." (What the heck does that mean? Are authenticated and confirmed not the same thing? That message needs work! It makes it sound like they're not the same thing!) And now, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences says: "E-mail confirmation: Your e-mail address was authenticated on March 1, 2013 at 21:17. <checked box> Enable e-mail from other users" That message suggest authenticated and confirmed are the same thing. It seems like there was some sort of database inconsistency that switching to a new email address fixed. Which makes me think there's more than one place in the database where email address status is stored. Perhaps an admin could run a query to see if things are out of sync for many users... I'd say it's 'confirmed' that something is or was introducing inconsistencies into the database, and that's the underlying problem. But I'm new here; being bold, doing what seems best; feel free to revert my status change. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
