Interwiki user accounts

 * I see from your homepage that your wikipresence spans several wikiprojects and languages... Perhaps you've got an idea about how to manage user accounts on multiple sites. Should I have an account for each site? Eg. an account for en.wikipedia.org, another for it.wikipedia.org, another for en.wikiquote.org...?

I'm afraid I don't have any great ideas. Currently, you need a separate account on each project in each language. (I have accounts on all the English projects I've listed, plus a few in some other languages that I haven't, but I've been lucky because "jeffq" isn't a terribly common user handle.) Based on the discussions at Single login specifications and its older version Single login, I'd say we're still a long way from implementing a single user account and/or name across all projects, an obviously useful but extremely challenging feature. (I'm encouraged by the possibility of cross-project new-message notification, which seems to me might be workable even if we don't get single login implemented.) I recently added my wikipresence userboxes precisely because I wanted a quick means to jump between projects without sifting through my browser bookmarks. Some folks have simpler ordinary links. Some people use redirects to their main account, usually en:Wikipedia. These don't actually automatically redirect to the listed page (as of the current MediaWiki 1.6alpha version), but do provide quick access to the desired project. Many users tell readers to post messages to them on a single site, but I'm against this personally, because I feel that discussions about a project should be recorded in that project. Anyway, that's my 2&cent; worth of observations. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:23, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Stefano. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Stefano~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 05:58, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
