Description Jesse (Pathoschild) 2010-01-29 14:01:11 UTC 
Account unification should be permitted even if the home wiki is blocked. Even if the user is a blatant vandal, this is beneficial because it allows stewards to lock or hide the global account.

There is at least one legitimate user reported to stewards who cannot unify because of this.

Unassigning default assignments. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/54734
Comment 2 Marius Hoch 2013-01-02 02:23:28 UTC 
Done in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/41916
Comment 3 Peter Symonds 2013-01-18 23:57:22 UTC 
Just to note that stewards very much support this change. It would more efficiently tackle abuses such as username vandalism.
Comment 4 James Forrester 2013-03-02 01:22:33 UTC 
Code is now merged and will go out in MW 1.21/wmf11.
