Description

Task similar to T99455

The account seems to be @Ebbmo

See original request in MediaWiki support desk:

Hi,

I wanted to add a bug to the Extension CategoryTree.

To do so, I created a mediaWiki account and then wanted to connect to Phabricator. During the connection process (please state your user and e-mail) I messed up my email spelling for Phabricator. Phabricator now wants me to confirm the registration e-mail, but this mail was sent to the wrong account...

Revoking the connection from mediawiki and re-establishing it always takes me to the "confirm your mail adress first" page - so i am stuck simply wanting to post an issue :(

Is there a way around this process, so that I can stop the registration process in Phabricator and start it over?

Would be glad if someone could help...

Cheers,

ebbmo

@mmodell ping: are you the right person to move this forward? Do you need more info from the user?

@Ciencia_Al_Poder: I need to know the wiki username and correct email address in order to correct it.

I might be able to just delete the account if it has zero activity, but I'm not sure if it would clear the pending email verification.

The user is already linked to MW on phabricator (see user account here). The problem is that, since the account is linked, he can't start it over with a new phabricator account.

I'm not sure if asking the user to send you the mail address using the emailuser function of MediaWiki would be the right thing to do (for privacy reasons). If so, can you please tell that to the user? I can also communicate that to the user if you prefer.

I just deleted the account so that ebbmo can start over and hopefully get the email right this time.
