Neil Babbage <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #35 from Neil Babbage <[email protected]> --- I'm the one with the "quite unusual problem", in comment 34. If it helps, there was one difference in what I was doing on the wikis where my account became detached and the ones that didn't. For the first renames I did, I went to the project, edited my preferences to change the language to en, then went to RENAMEUSER and completed the renames. For the ones that broke, I used a direct link over https rather than navigate round the Wiki. For example, I used https://example.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RenameUser&oldusername=AnOldName&newusername=ANewName&reason=why+not I've no idea if this is the cause, but maybe the local account creation process isn't being invoked or completed properly if you enter the project via this route rather than the normal route a user would take. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
