Bug ID: 47918
Summary: Rename of global (attached) users to existing global
usernames
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: CentralAuth
Assignee: [email protected]

Depends on: 14862
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Split from bug 14862.
Imagine A@global (composed of A@commonswiki and A@metawiki both attached),
B@global (composed of B@wikidatawiki and B@metawiki both attached), C@global
(composed only of C@mediawikiwiki).
Current situation (after bug 14862 is fixed) is that B and C can't be renamed
to A. This means that all the users forcefully renamed for bug 35707 (if on
more than one wiki) will have to request rename on Meta and only RenameUser
will help.
However, this means that all such accounts will be unattached and this is less
than ideal beside being a pain for everyone involved. All such users will be in
the case B because requesting rename creates a local account on Meta and A will
probably have to confirm too.
What we need is:
* C can be renamed to A: C@global is deleted, the local account is
attached to A@global.
* B can be renamed to A: the wikidatawiki account is attached to A@global,
while B@metawiki is left behind and B@global stays.
