Summary: Account inconsistencies after Wikimedia error during
renameuser
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal

Hello,
About 28 hours ago (2011-3-4, 7 am UTC+1), fr:User:Céréales_Killer renamed
fr:User:Mikeread to fr:User:Mike_Coppolano but got a server error (“Wikimedia
error”), resulting in the account as well as the user pages being renamed but
without the contributions (which remain attributed to fr:User:Mikeread).
Then, as new contributions were attributed to fr:User:Mikeread,
fr:User:Céréales_Killer renamed fr:User:Mike_Coppolano to
fr:User:Mike_Coppolano_old and fr:User:Mikeread to fr:User:Mike_Coppolano
(again), resulting in the account being renamed with the new contributions (but
without the old ones, which still remain attributed to fr:User:Mikeread).
Today, the situation is as follow:
- An account fr:User:Mikeread created yesterday with the contributions of the
original account plus 5 new contributions, an editcount of 5 and no log
- An account fr:User:Mike_Coppolano created yesterday with 33 contributions,
an editcount of 33 and no log
- An account fr:User:Mike_Coppolano_old created in 2008 with no contribution,
an editcount of 20997 and the logs of the original account
What I understand is that the original account is now
fr:User:Mike_Coppolano_old, as expected after having been renamed twice, but it
is still missing its contributions 28 hours after the original renaming.
Is it possible that renaming an user isn't atomic, ie. that because of the
server error, the contributions remain attributed to fr:User:Mikeread? If so,
could a sysadm please fix this inconsistency? If not, how long can it take for
the contributions to be attributed to the right account?
For French readers, the original discussion is at

Thanks and best regards,
