There is a problem that has not > been addressed so far: MediaWiki allows registering multiple user names with > the same e-mail address. I don't think this is unresolvable. Following Daniel's suggestion in comment 9, what we'd do here is always prefer a username over an e-mail address. This would retain existing functionality/behavior. For e-mail addresses that match multiple accounts, the user would be presented with an option post-login to select which of the accounts to log in as. Obviously this would only work with accounts that have an authenticated e-mail address. Such cases are terribly common given "public" accounts, bot accounts, etc. However, given the proposed precedence (preferring username over e-mail address), this change shouldn't really get in anyone's way. -- 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
