To my knowledge, there is no way to "map" the accounts (I could be wrong).
Though I did this same move (To LDAP) a few years back and I'll tell you
what I did:
Setup the LDAP, get that working for your admin user. Then add
Extension:RenameUser [1] . Then rename all your users from their old
account names, to what it will be in LDAP (before they get to login). If
you've got a lot of users, this will suck, but you only have to do it once.

We have been using mediawiki 1.12 in our organization

Users create their account and starting using wiki. Now we are planning to
switch to the LDAP/AD authentication method. Let's say once the users start
using LDAP method, what happens to their old (local mediawiki) accounts? I
am assuming that they just stay in the database.
My question:
How do we merge/map the stats of the correponding old user to their LDAP
login stats.
For example, John Winslow's old (local mediawiki) username was 'johnwin'
but
his corresponding LDAP/AD username is 'johnw'.
I would like that stats of username 'johnwin' is merged/added with the new
username 'johnw'.
Thanks
