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.
This sort of dispute would be resolved via arbitration. The preferred (or at least in my point of view) solution, implements the technical solution before handling the messy username conflicts.
Hmm... given the increased scope of usernames this will entail, perhaps we should set up a system for ruling on user name disputes? How do the large companies do it?
