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
- Work the conflicting ones out one-by-one manually, while keeping them
active locally
This seems like the only fair way to me.
what should I do if someone has different usernames on different wikis? for example username "Monk" on en: is taken by someone (was inactive for a long time). I will be unable to create global user name "Monk" at all, if your proposal is implemented.
It seems not too fair way to me.
