Description Splarka 2009-01-15 04:47:27 UTC
On my home wiki, [[Special:MergeAccount]] shows "All in order! Login unification complete!"

On the Toolserver, I have: http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=Splarka
"plwiki, wikipedia, 0, 2008111805232205:23, 18 November 2008, No, unattached"

Showing pl.wiki as unattached. 

Going there I see "No matching items in log." http://pl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Specjalna%3ARejestr&type=&user=&page=User%3ASplarka&uselang=en

But the user exists, and there is a creation date in teh API:
http://pl.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allusers&aufrom=Splarka&auprop=registration&aulimit=1
"2008-11-18T05:23:22Z"

I cannot login, or retrieve a password. I did not ask for usurpation yet as this probably needs looking at.

Another user, Iceflow has a similar problem, with ru.wikinews : http://ru.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%A1%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F%3ALog&type=&user=&page=User%3AIceflow&year=&month=-1&uselang=en

Log entry exists, but user gets error when trying to log in:  Ошибка базы данных  Обнаружена ошибка синтаксиса запроса к базе данных. Последний запрос к базе данных:  (SQL запрос скрыт)  произошёл из функции «User::addToDatabase». MySQL возвратил ошибку «1062: Duplicate entry 'Iceflow' for key 2 (10.0.0.234)».

> Database Error An error was detected query syntax to the database. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function «User:: addToDatabase». MySQL returned error «1062: Duplicate entry 'Iceflow' for key 2 (10.0.0.234)».

Actually, Iceflow's error sounds like bug 16196 

But note that mine problem is not the same, I do not get database errors. My account just seems not to exist or be creatable.

Hi Splarka! Sorry that nobody has taken a look at this report yet and given feedback.

We now don't have a toolserver anymore to compare with...
Also, is this still a problem nowadays? I assume this report unfortunately did not get attention when it was created, and now it's too late to investigate? :-/
Comment 3 MZMcBride 2014-08-24 21:31:28 UTC
https://tools.wmflabs.org/quentinv57-tools/tools/sulinfo.php?username=Splarka is probably roughly equivalent these days. Or [[m:Special:CentralAuth/Splarka]].
