Re-attach centralauth user Fuu5tgsrygr

I think that the global account was deleted in error by @Savh. Please re-attach it so we can globally lock it, as it seems a cross-wiki abuse user. Filling privately so we don't WP:BEANS with him. I think there's a maintenance script in rECAU that can do this. Thanks.

Event Timeline

I have no idea how that could have happened. I intended to lock the account, possibly skipped a button too far. My apologies for the mess.

Done. Once the account is locked I'll make this ticket public.

Thanks & locked. You can close / make public.

matmarex removed a project: acl*security.
matmarex changed the visibility from "Custom Policy" to "Public (No Login Required)".

Thank you, @Legoktm & @MarcoAurelio, for sorting this out. My apologies for messing up.

It has happened again, now by @Einsbor. Account https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Zlazstadpieroniebomiurwieszkabelodinternetu was deleted. Has something changed, or is this a coincidence? Btw, when would we need that option nowadays? Couldn't we place it somewhere less visible (or even disabling it?).

For that one I've just filled T155184

Not sure if we'd require being able to delete global accounts that much nowadays. If there's a chance that we'd need it, I'd say that we should keep the right, but that account deletion cannot be performed without a confirmation dialog as we can't reattach the accounts ourselves back.
