Did you mean to attach your account to SUL before renaming?
Your 'Xcollazo' Developer account has been associated with the 'XCollazo-WMF' SUL account using the idm.wikimedia.org account management tool. While attempting to rename the legacy 'Xcollazo' Wikitech account I found that it has already been attached to a SUL account with the same name. It is not clear if this SUL attachment was a delibrate choice you made or if it was a side effect of a confusing migration from Developer accounts to SUL accounts here on Wikitech.
If you feel this was an error, and that you would like to have the 'Xcollazo' Wikitech account renamed to match the previously claimed 'XCollazo-WMF' SUL account, please leave a comment on phab:T386026 stating "Please detach 'Xcollazo' from SUL, rename it to 'XCollazo-WMF', and reattach to SUL."
If you deliberately attached the 'Xcollazo' Wikitech account to a matching SUL account, or if you don't much care either way, congratulations you don't need to do anything at all. -- BryanDavis (talk) 22:20, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Bryan, I think I messed this up while attempting to do the SUL migration myself a while ago. Now I have two accounts like you mentioned, 'Xcollazo' with older contributions, and 'XCollazo-WMF' with newer contributions. Is there any way I could merge them both? If not, that is fine, but wanted to ask. XCollazo-WMF (talk) 21:55, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- Unfortunately we do not have the ability to merge two accounts. We used to have such an ability, but it has been removed from the Wikimedia project wikis because it had too many weird failure modes. Today your best option would be to chose to keep the account with the "best" edit history here connected to the SUL account of your choice. We can make that work even if it requires multiple account renames and attaching/detaching from SUL here on Wikitech. -- BryanDavis (talk) 00:58, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- Got it, let's leave it as it is. Thanks! XCollazo-WMF (talk) 02:09, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- @XCollazo-WMF You are posting these responses on the Xcollazo talk page using the XCollazo-WMF account. Are you certain that you do not want the Xcollazo account here on Wikitech renamed to usurp the XCollazo-WMF account? The Xcollazo account owns your 106 edits made prior to 2024-10-01. The XCollazo-WMF account owns your 28 edits made since the Wikitech SUL migration started. -- BryanDavis (talk) 18:17, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, you are right. I am indeed very confuse by this all. I will now follow the procedure you stated upthread. XCollazo-WMF (talk) 20:12, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
Done. The edits from the time of SUL confusion can be found at Special:Contributions/XCollazo-WMF~labswiki. -- BryanDavis (talk) 21:39, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
