Hello,
Eliminating username conflicts with unified login might make it possible for a third-party script to count edits on every wiki, but unified login will apparently not combine contribution logs. "Single user login" does not mean "single crosswiki account per user"; this common misconception might be the reason it is documented as "unified login".
For more information on what unified login will actually be, see < http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login >.
"Since the new system only allows one user per name, there are some cases where accounts will need to be renamed."
What a horrible idea. I sure hope that's not what unified login will actually be.
