Checkuser results should update usernames after a user is renamed
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

After an account is renamed, all the edits move in normal user contributions list. This seems to not actually happen on the checkuser results, where old edits tend to appear under the old username, making it appear to CU's as if two different accounts made the edits.

Just noting this does not just happen on RECENT renames. The rename I encountered this bug on tonight had been done in September.

Sorry about the changes, edit conflict. Also I can confirm this bug.

Will go out with the 1.27.0-wmf.12 deployment next week. It'll only apply to users renamed after that point, not retroactively.
