- After SUL is fully deployed, when users create a new account (on,
say, the english wikipedia) will that name automatically be 'reserved' for use on all Wikimedia wikis? [if so, when will this happen?]
I'm pretty sure that the answers for 3 are "yes" and "now"
Hmm, really? I thought your name was only reserved if you use mergeaccount. Lemme check.
- Created account "ownersdraw" on en.wikipedia.
- Logout
- Created account "ownersdraw" on de.wikipedia (using a different
password, just in case)
Worked, so no, it's not set up that way yet.

Does anyone know if the plan for the future (after existing accounts are sorted out) is to have names be reserved when you register them anywhere, though?
Thanks all for your help -- phoebe
