Hi all,
Single-user login[1] finalization will be taking place next month.[2] I know this has been said before over the past two years, but it is actually going to take place after nearly a decade of waiting :)
I just posted an important announcement about the renaming process itself on Meta.[3] If you're interested, please take some time to read it over and help translate if possible. A one sentence message about this has been sent to village pumps as well, where available.
All accounts that will be affected by this will be contacted on their talk page within the next couple of days.[4] All local wikis also have a publicly listed database of users who will be renamed, available at Special:UsersWhoWillBeRenamed.[4]
Thanks for your time, please help spread the word to your other mailing lists and/or communities.

Thanks very much for keeping us up to date, Keegan. When I look at the Special:UsersWhoWillBeRenamed on enwiki, I note a large number of accounts whose registration date is listed as today, even though I realise that's not possible. It might be helpful to include an explanation of that apparent anomaly in the announcement and/or the schema. (I'm assuming it has something to do with the accounts being very old, but it sure looks weird.)

Hey Risker,
Those accounts are ones older than our registration tables. The date listed in that special page will be changed once we agree on the format:

This should be fixed before any major explanation or reworded is needed, I didn't want to let that hold this up even more :)
Keegan: thank you, great news. SJ

Hi.
Do you think a month of warning to affected users is sufficient? Ideally we want as many users as possible to self-rename before being forcibly renamed, I think. And if a lot of users take us up on the opportunity to self-rename (i.e., request a user rename, we still don't have true self-renames...), we want to make sure there aren't big backlogs. Sending out messages to 2.8 million accounts seems like it could create a flood.

MZMcBride
Great question, and it's one I've wrested with personally and in meetings.
Ultimately the timeline that is chosen is arbitrary. We can look at the data of the accounts like the number of edits v. age, potentially how much time does the average person with a conflicting account login based on user_touched, and several other metrics, but in the end there is no science to come up with a predictive timeframe. Another arbitrary number is how many of these accounts will show up to request a rename, no matter the timeframe. I can set this to take place six months from now but that's not predictive of behavior. As you can imagine, there's many more scenarios :)
So, given that, in my opinion the biggest tell is going to be what happens in the first two weeks. There are two potential bottlenecks: technical and in personnel. If the job queue or any other sort of technical function is regularly getting stuck, we'll revisit the month time frame. If the technical side is holding up but there are too many rename requests to fulfill before the deadline, we'll revisit the deadline. I'm willing to be flexible depending on the circumstance.
The bottom line is that this is something that we're only doing once, and it's something that I want to do right. I'd be willing to postpone if major technical and/or personnel blockers show up. However, I'm committed to the month deadline as much as I can be - at some point this has to be done, we clearly can come up with blockers for over a decade. 2.8 million accounts could create a flood, or a trickle. We're going to see, and very soon :)

The message includes instructions to rename an account, but what happens if a user unifies all accounts having the same name now, after this announcement. I've heard someone say that their account is still listed on 'Special:UsersWhoWillBeRenamed' after they unified their accounts. Will their newly SUL'ed accounts be messed up in the April SUL finalisation?

As far as I know, that list is only updated periodically.
Either way, when the SUL finalisation begins, if you own a global account then you'll get to keep it irrespective of whether you still appear on that list or not.

If you are connected to an SUL account, you will not be renamed. I filed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T93044 for automatically updating the special page once this happens.

Much appreciated.
Can the global message be updated to mention that SUL'ing accounts is an appropriate action to take?
I've already received 160 user talk enotif's from this message system delivery, and from quickly scanning those emails I recognise many usernames, so there seems to be many cases of un-SUL'd yet long standing accounts of irregularly active people.
Also, lots of unanswered queries appearing quickly on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Keegan_%28WMF%29 , which is the talk page linked in the global message that was sent out. It would be good to have extra hands assisting answering those queries accurately so users dont make the wrong choice about the identity.

Thank you for noticing, John :) I'm (as I expected) swamped with emails about this and I'm catching up on that backlog...only five from cleared out of about 200 :D I sent out an email a while ago to the global renamers and stewards for help there if possible. Most of the accounts need to just log in again to unify their accounts, or by logging in to post to meta their accounts were already renamed. I know the page is there, I'm around, I'm just working on the communications that no one else can crowdsource first.
I appreciate everyone in the movement, particularly right now. I'm receiving some incredibly deep emails from people who never use their accounts about how much they appreciate the resources the community provides. Thank you all :)
Hi Keegan,
Just a thought: you could invite WMFers to have SUL finalization parties during a few lunch hours. Invite people out of their silos to work with you and interact with the community to answer account-owner FAQs, translate the Q&A, and interact with WMF's "customers". While this is a little different from face-time, I still think that some of the 1:1 interaction would be nice for everybody while helping move the SUL process along.
Thanks for working on SUL.

Not a bad idea at all. I'll look into it, the prime time is this week and next, the expected response curve will likely drop sharply. Thanks, Pine :)
Thanks for moving this close to completion. I hope finalization goes well.
However, It found Special:UsersWhoWillBeRenamed totally useless at Wiktionary, as I'm sure it is at any mature project. Only 25 names appear at time. On Wiktionary the first page only includes names using exclusively exclamation marks. It takes several pageforwards to get to the first "A". It is not searchable. There is not even a count of how many there are in total.
I'm not sure why the list is provided. What is a use case for it?
It would be useful for those reviewing entries (articles) to have lists of old and new names for contributors (with unreverted contributions) so as to take advantage of hard-won knowledge about typical user contribution quality, etc. Are there plans for this?

If anyone wishes to check a name, they can use "offset". For example this url checks to see if the account "Fae" is going to be affected: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UsersWhoWillBeRename...
Just change the name at the end of the link.
However I note some issues. If you miss out the "dir" parameter, then the list seems to start *after* your index point, missing out the name searched for: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UsersWhoWillBeRename... does not start at "Wikilover" as you might expect, but it is shown by https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UsersWhoWillBeRename...
P.S. the parameter "limit" does not seem to make any difference as it does not change the list from a default of 25 accounts.

So yes, you can guess which name might be just before the name you are actually searching for, or wait until this special page is debugged. I suspect there was not much testing of it before the notices went out.

I'm a bit confused about implications of SUL for edit history.
What name will show up in page history for a contribution made by someone who, after SUL, has a new name? The new name, if any, of that user? The name being used at the time, which would now be attributed to someone who did not make the contribution? As an active user I often review histories to find out the source of erroneous, non-standard, or odd, and brilliant and interesting content in entries/articles. How will I know about identity changes? I suppose the problem has always existed because of sock-puppetry, usurpation, etc. I suppose that it was always handled by checkusers, etc This just seems like potentially much more pervasive problem that cannot necessarily be handled the same way.
Will there be reports or query mechanism to help active contributors keep track of at least these sanctioned name changes?
