Recover "Flominator" svn account for use as a modern developer account
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When trying to register at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CreateAccount with username "Flominator" I receive this:

Username entered already in use. Please choose a different name

Logging in with Wikipedia credentials didn't work, so I tried resetting the password via https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PasswordReset , where it says:

There is no user by the name "Flominator". Usernames are case sensitive. Check your spelling, or create a new account.

I think I had an svn account Flominator or flominator "decades ago" which I never managed to properly use due to laziness in combination with key trouble.

It is probably related to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T55793#555374

Thanks in advance,

Flo

@Flominator I have attached your existing LDAP account to Wikitech and set the account's email address to match the email address of your main Wikimedia account. You should be able to use https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PasswordReset to reset your password and start using your account.
