Merge

Is it possible to merge user accounts at TW? I just realized that I still have access to my Muhraz account as I was translating Minangkabau core messages today and a ton of email was just sent to notify me of my own changes. Thanks!

We have mw:Extension:UserMerge here but it's traditionally only used to delete spam accounts (which was no longer needed since the Translate sandbox). In theory, since the actor table migration such merges should no longer be a big deal technically, but we've not tried on big users yet. You don't have many edits so we could try. It's probably better to merge the new account into the old and then move it to the new username if needed.

Which username do you want to keep? (Please confirm with the other account too.)

That said, if you just want to avoid emails then maybe you can disable email notifications and be done with it. :)

I would like to keep my current username, if it's not too much of a work. Thank you for your response, Nemo.

(And now confirming with this account, too.)

Should be done. I didn't delete the old user account though, is this good enough? You can redirect the userpage and so on yourself.

Absolutely, thank you very much!
