#cvn-unifications is intensively used by stewards to detect abusive user names. It's the easiest (if not only useful) source of global account creations.

@SPoore Thanks for clarifications. Now I understood what you meant with partial blocks. However, I still think that we should be transparent about that in general while functionaries should definitely see that at any time.

Hi, I am afraid I do not understand the reasoning.

I got the first error when I used Special:Nuke on Wikimedia Commons. Is it possible that something has not been updated with this old tool?

Throws API errors:
API request failed (internal_api_error_DBQueryError): [WzPl3wpAIDYAAF1ZcmYAAAAC] Database query error. <i>at Wed, 27 Jun 2018 19:30:57 GMT</i> <u>served by mw1342</u>

Thanks! :-)

Well, I tried to fix it but it fails which is why we are seeking help here. I can still see the WLE banner on the landing page:

Follow up questions:

1. I wonder if we should also update the copy on the languages overlay panel (see attached jpg below)

I agree. I like the alternative version

As a Wikimedia Steward and WMDE colleague, I can confirm that this is Léa Lacroix. Please reset her 2FA, thanks.

We want to add this text:
“Some Wikimedia movement organization proceed with the results of the international Wikimania Scholarship Committee results, some will create their own jury process. In the second case, do you intend to apply for funding there, too? If so, we will work with the organisation in question to arrange the best solution.
o Yes o No”

Is this actually adding a new question, or just changing the text for the existing 'form-chapteragree' question?

Indeed, thanks for helping! :)

Sure, especially banner building. Multi-lingual sounds good, too.

As a Wikimedia Steward I can confirm that both his accounts are used by the same person who is standing next to me.

A hack in my script should avoid such problems in the future.

Stewards use loginwiki more than 10'000 times per year, see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards/CheckUser_statistics_for_loginwiki. To date, we need to login to loginwiki to be able to check IPs there with the checkuser tool.

I successfully renamed the account under the auspicies of legoktm.

As AKlapper says, the discussion is about the change which was implemented to send new users and those not logged in to the VE from the search results. However, the underlying issue why this needed to be fixed in the first place is that red links always send users to the wikitext editor. We would like to send users to whichever editor is their default, which currently is only possible for single-edit-tab wikis. Sorry for the confusion.

Hm, afaics, the list stops at G- (see e.g. https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UsersWhoWillBeRenamed&dir=prev&limit=25 https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UsersWhoWillBeRenamed&dir=prev&limit=25 ). Is there a limit for lists on Special pages that requires extension in order to get more results?

Finally available! :-) Thanks for everyone who made that possible. Will you eventually implement an option where we can filter by editcount or hide at least the 0 edit accounts?
