I have a number of accounts on closed wikis that cannot be "merged" into my SUL account. I also have several that needs a username rename so that I can merge them to my SUL account. I do not believe I am alone in this. I am a perfectionsist I suppose so I want to get the SUL issue resolved 100%. :)

It has came to my attention that closed wikis can be the source of
problems
particularly for IW links.
When a wiki is locked down (generally for inactivity) edits to the site
are
completely blocked.
This is a problem because IW links can no longer be fixed meaning there
is a
permanent invalid IW linkage which may mislead bots and humans (visitors reading articles) alike.
In addition it creates a backlog as the wikis in question will be
unlocked
eventualy. Admittedly the locked wikis are small so backlog isnt exactly
too
big of a deal.
In adition locked wikis also need to be edited for SUL unifications, username renames (can relate to SUL), leftover spam deletions and etc.
I really think certain usergroups and/or global usergroups should be
allowed
to edit such wikis.

Are there any examples you can cite? I'd be particularly interested in the SUL issues.
Best, Jon
