Bug #: 29234
Summary: SUL doesn't prevent someone creating a new account
with an already unified name
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: CentralAuth
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Appearently somehow an "unattached" account was created with my username
(bawolff) on tawiki ( http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=Bawolff ,
http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers/bawolff?uselang=en&limit=1 ) My
understanding is that CentralAuth should prevent this from happening once an
account is unified.
The account appears to be someone totally different from me (my password
doesn't work with it), it was created last month, which is several years after
I unified my account. The account does not appear in the new user log (
http://ta.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%AE%9A%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%B1%E0%AE%AA%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%AA%E0%AF%81%3ALog&type=&user=Bawolff&page=&year=&month=-1&uselang=en
)
Expected behaviour: CentralAuth prevents other people from registering accounts
that conflict with a unified account name.
