Description

I am logged into toolsadmin.wikimedia.org and see this on https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/profile/settings/accounts/:

I am loosing access to my "@fu-berlin.de" address, so I'd like to update everything to "@mailbox.org". I have managed to do so, partially, as you can see on the screenshot.

For the "Wikimedia account" section, I need to find the email settings for the Wikimedia Meta Wiki and then click "Refresh OAuth credentials here"

For the "Phabricator account" I neede to find the email settings in Phabricator and it got synced here.

I can't seem to find any place to update the email for "Wikimedia developer account" though.

I have already logged into idm.wikimedia.org and updated the email there. Also this ldap page shows the correct address: https://ldap.toolforge.org/user/sebkur

I'm pretty sure this is a variation of the older bug at T144943: Groups and tools only refreshed at login.

@Sebkur Have you tried logging out and logging back into https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/ since you changed your Developer account email address using idm.wikimedia.org? The Striker tool mirrors data from the canonical LDAP directory into a local mariaDB database and that mirroring uses the account login process as a trigger.

bd808 renamed this task from Cannot update email for "Wikimedia developer account" in toolsadmin.wikimedia.org to Developer account email updated via idm.wikimedia.org not showing as changed in toolsadmin.wikimedia.org.May 15 2026, 5:08 PM

Thanks @bd808 that seems to have done the trick. I guess I could have had that idea myself.
