access: update key for Mholloway

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/233582

@Mholloway Could you login on phabricator with your (WMF) wiki account? On first login that will be associated with this Phabricator account and will confirm it's you.

I managed to create a new Phab user account associated with my WMF wiki account, then about 30 seconds later find the setting I should have used to associate my WMF wiki account with this one. I don't appear to have the option of deleting the new Phab account. Nor would it let me simply disassociate my wiki account without first adding a different one, so I added my personal wiki account (Mhollo) to that one, and still I am unable to disassociate my WMF wiki account from that Phab user to add to this one, because now that I have more than one MediaWiki account associated with it, this happens when I try to remove one of them:

@chasemp, @mmodell, any pointers on how to resolve the above ? Thanks!

Linking to documentation (all centrally at [[mw:Phabricator/Help]]) recommended. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help#Creating_your_account_and_notifications under "Advanced" explains how to avoid creating two separate Phabricator accounts.

This now needs database action. Delete @Mdholloway and leave @Mholloway. For a similar past example (and related SQL) see T75720#1488655.

so

select * from user where userName='Mdholloway';

does return indeed a user. I am hesitant though to run the delete since no table in that database has ON DELETE CASCADE and I can only assume this will leave garbage in many of the other tables.

There is a command line tool to delete a user, rather than doing it in sql

@akosiaris: I can do the deletion if you'd prefer. But the way it's done is, on iridium, run the following command:

sudo /srv/phab/phabricator/bin/remove destroy @Mdholloway

sorry alex I didn't see your shoutout until now. yep the cli tooling here is best bet.^

ok thanks @mmodell, @chasemp. It worked just fine. I also loved the output of that tool!

@Mholloway, you should be able to connect you (WMF) wiki account now so we can proceed with this

Thanks everyone, and sorry about the hassle. My WMF MediaWiki account is now linked.
