It happened again, see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34381 ... I'm steward and my SUL is active in more than 400 wmf projects. Today I was renaming some user accounts via http://toolserver.org/~quentinv57/tools/global_renaming.ph - then I came to ru.wikiversity.org: http://ru.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RenameUser&oldusername=Mietchen&newusername=Daniel+Mietchen&reason=see+0 ... and on top of the page I read "Axpde Моя страница обсуждения Настройки Список наблюдения Мой вклад Завершение сеанса", i.e. my account has been automatically created. But then it reads: "Ошибка доступа Перейти к: навигация, поиск Запрошенное действие могут выполнять только участники из группы «Бюрократы». Возврат к странице Заглавная страница." ... i.e. permission error! And with the next click the top line vanished telling me to login first. But then I wasn't able to login. I tried to reset my password, but it reads: "Для участника с именем Axpde электронный адрес указан не был." ... which means something like "no email address attached to that account" (exact translation impossible 'cause translate.google.com went nuts :( Same happened on zh-yue.wikipedia.org, ru.wikibooks.org (managed to get it working via reset password) and uz.wikiquote.org before (no email address to rest password, see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34381 ...). Please fix and please, tell me how can this happen for the second time this month?!?
It happened once again! Now I can't access my accounts on the following wikis * ru.wikiversity.org * kk.wiktionary.org I was able to merged the account via reset password and "merge accounts" on * kk.wikibooks.org * ta.wikiquote.org
Another very strange thing on kk.wikibooks.org: # at 13:17, 19. Feb. 2012 my account was created. # at 13:18, 19. Feb. 2012 I was able to do the rename # at 13:29, 19. Feb. 2012 I was forced to reset my password to access my account again!! What the h...eck is going wrong on wmf servers?!?
This has nothing to do with surveys... moving to the same component bug 34381 is in.
Seems to be related to bug 34478
It took a few bug reports before we looked at this the way we should have, but we think we resolved this as part of bug 34582. Sorry for the inconvenience!
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 34582 ***
Neither * ru.wikiversity.org nor * kk.wiktionary.org are listed on my https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MergeAccount (sulinfo won't work at the moment due to toolserver problems) and I can't # login on both sites # reset my password on both sites! So it's no duplicate of bug 34582 and it's still not solved! Please set my email address on both sites to enable me to reset my password. Thank you!
Generic bug report is bug 34705
The issue is same as bug 34381, a local user was created without the global user informations :-( [ruwikiversity]> select * from user where user_name='Axpde' \G *************************** 1. row *************************** user_id: 8767 user_name: Axpde user_real_name: user_password: user_newpassword: user_newpass_time: NULL user_email: user_options: user_touched: user_token: SOMETOKEN user_email_authenticated: NULL user_email_token: NULL user_email_token_expires: NULL user_registration: 20120219121634 user_editcount: 0 1 row in set (0.00 sec) [kkwiktionary]> select * from user where user_name='Axpde' \G *************************** 1. row *************************** user_id: 1001 user_name: Axpde user_real_name: user_password: user_newpassword: user_email: user_options: user_touched: user_token: SOME TOKEN user_email_authenticated: NULL user_email_token: NULL user_email_token_expires: NULL user_registration: 20120219131726 user_newpass_time: NULL user_editcount: 0 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
I have updated the local user emails with the global account email: $ mwscript eval.php ruwikiversity > $u = User::newFromName( 'Axpde' ); > $u->setEmail( ); > $u->saveSettings(); $ $ mwscript eval.php kkwiktionary > $u = User::newFromName( 'Axpde' ); > $u->setEmail( ); > $u->saveSettings(); > exit $ User requested password reset and manually merged the accounts.
