Hello Audiodude
We are reaching out to inform you about an important upcoming change regarding your Wikitech account. As part of our ongoing efforts to streamline account management and improve security, we will be migrating all old developer Wikitech accounts to the MediaWiki account system (also referred to as global account or Wikimedia global account). This means that in the future you will be able to access Wikitech using your MediaWiki/Wikipedia account.
==What You Need to Do== To ensure a smooth transition, we request that you manually link your Wikitech account to your MediaWiki account before September 16th. Please follow these steps: *Log in to idm.wikipedia.org with the same username and password you would use on wikitech.[0] *Follow the instructions provided to link your Wikitech (LDAP) account to your MediaWiki account.
==Why This Is Important== Currently, Wikitech accounts are stored in LDAP, which has been historically used for managing technical community accounts across Wikimedia projects. We are now consolidating these accounts under the MediaWiki account system. This change will help us better manage the Wikitech wiki, which also contains essential technical documentation.
==Migration Details== *Linked Accounts: If you link your accounts by the deadline, your Wikitech account will be migrated to your Mediawiki account, retaining your full edit history. *Unlinked Accounts: If you do not link your accounts by the deadline, your Wikitech account will be migrated to a default scheme (e.g., wikitech_OLDWIKITECHUSERNAME). Your old edits will still be visible, but new edits will be made under a new MediaWiki account with no immediate link to your past edits.
Your prompt action will help us ensure a seamless transition. If you have already linked your accounts, no further action is required. If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us[1] We are also maintaining a FAQ page here[2] that hopefully answers some questions you may have.

The original message was a direct email sent by Komla to some of the Developer accounts with edits on Wikitech. It was not a mailing list message, and it was only a test batch from the total group of Wikitech accounts that will be affected by upcoming changes to wikitech.wikimedia.org.
Bryan
Was the test mail intended to go only to dev accounts that are not attached to a MediaWiki account? I ask because I got it, and I'm already attached to a MediaWiki account so there doesn't appear to have been anything for me to do once I logged in there, but the subject and text imply that it's required to make a change from current state.

The email's terminology is slightly confusing in that round I think. Rather than "MediaWiki account" I think it should read "Wikimedia Global Account (SUL)". The project that is underway is converting the locally attached accounts on Wikitech to be backed by Central Auth rather than Developer accounts in LDAP.
Bryan
Ah! Hm, that's a horse of a different color...
So now I'll have three Wikimedia global accounts, one for WMF official usage, one personal, and one for Wikitech with all different names?
Or I should merge the Wikitech account with my WMF account of a different name?
Is that something I can do without requesting a local rename first?

I'm wondering what's going to happen with cases when there are two accounts. Like Zoranzoki21 and Kizule in my case.
My username everywhere was Zoranzoki21, and on Wikipedia and other wikis, I got renamed to Kizule. Including Phabricator. But only Wikitech/Gerrit are left (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T260647 ).
I'm fine with merging accounts Zoranzoki21 and Kizule on Wikitech, renaming Zoranzoki21 to Kizule on Gerrit, and deleting LDAP account with username Zoranzoki21.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards!

Not at all! We hope everyone will do it to make our wikitech SUL migration more boring for everyone. :)
Bryan
Boring migrations FTW!
I'm really happy to see this. One less thing I need to remember and manage. I'm hoping this will eventually get rolled out to all the other minor wikis like checkuser and ombuds.
