I think I suggested this some time ago, but here it goes again:
- Create "global" users for all unique user names in wiki(pedia)-land
- Merge all users which carry same name and password hash (and maybe
email), where all instances across wiki-land match perfectly
- Block creation of all conflicting user names, both locally and globally
Are there any stats on how many conflicting usernames are in the db? Is it possible to run some query on the user tables? If we only have 10 conflicting accounts, going manually is a workable strategy. Not if we have 20,000.
