Guild Wars Wiki talk:Requests for user merge

FAQ.
So FAQ is going to be on a separate page after all. - J.P.  Talk  22:49, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * HELP:RUM seems as a good target for it :)--Fighterdoken 00:11, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually I think the current text explains everything well. Or are there any open questions? poke | talk 07:40, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * One question: I heard something about GW2W not synchronizing the usermerge until I make an edit? I've noticed the usermerge hasn't had an effect there yet, but I'm reluctant to try and set it right before I get a confirmation I don't break things. &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why]] 20:07, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * No, that was only about preferences; but it seems that it was always like that (that preferences only sync after making an edit). But in general merging an account here has no effect on GW2W. poke | talk 21:24, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Special:UserMerge
Do we need this in See also section? Because only admins can access it. - J.P.  Talk  21:47, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Probably the reason it is there, so that bcrats know where to do it. poke | talk 21:52, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty dumb, I'd need that link. Misery  21:54, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Could it be somewhere else on the page? I like the idea of See also providing links everyone can use. - J.P. [[Image:User J.P. sigicon.png| ]] Talk  22:05, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Did some edits to indicate the purpose of the link ^^ - J.P. [[Image:User J.P. sigicon.png| ]] Talk  22:18, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Ban log doesn't merge
See and. Shouldn't it be asociated to the new user too?--Fighterdoken 20:55, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Weird.. but can't help it. poke | talk 20:57, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * On a second thought, no, not so weird. It's not a log entry for Pling after all, as the "Brains12" is just the title value. poke | talk 20:58, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

What's the limit on number of accounts?
I've got a lot of socks in my drawer.  —ǥrɩɳsɧƴ ɖɩđđɭɘş   18:36, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No real limit, although it's likely the bcrats will oppose to merge multiple 3 posts socks.. So if you want to have some socks merged, focus on the most prominent contributions that really make sense to be moved to your main account. poke | talk 19:02, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Archiving
Can we archive some time after the issue is resolved (i.e. the merge is done/refused)? A comment saying what the result was is more useful than archiving straightaway. -- pling 19:50, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Plus, as always, having an example formatted section is always good :P poke | talk 19:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Meh, ok. I don't see these as super important, especially as the old account had been abandoned for over a month, but I can do that. I only really thought to check it because it could be relevant with the upcoming election. Misery  20:15, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Not to step on your toes or anything (I'd never do that), but it may be a good idea to put a note on the user's talk page informing him of the move. -- pling User Pling sig.png 20:18, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It's okay :P poke | talk 20:18, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Pling, you just did though :P poke | talk 20:19, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Gawd Pling, GAWD! I thought this was supposed to be a cushy job. Misery  20:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Only for people with blue signature links. -- pling User Pling sig.png 20:23, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Ignored Merge Request
Hi all, just wondering how I could get someone to look at my merge request - it seems to have been skipped. If there's anything I can do to help speed up the process, I'd be glad to help. Thanks.
 * Marc Grahamsworth 19:44, 28 October 2010 (UTC) (Formerly Rambutaan)
 * Not skipped for forgotten, I just seem to be the only bureaucrat checking this at the moment and I am very hesitant to merge when both accounts cannot be logged in to, for licensing reasons. Gares was a little more gung ho, but I'll ask a few questions and get back to you. For now just keep using your new account. If the contributions get merged over they will slip nicely into the start of your contribution list, so it doesn't matter if it is delayed. It is not going to affect your eligibility to vote in the current bureaucrat election, so it makes sense to take the time to ensure all our ducks are in a row. Misery  09:00, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay... somehow my password now works and I can access my old account - strange :S. Terribly sorry for wasting anyone's time... if you wish you can delete my 2 user merge requests (and now I have two unused Guild Wars Wiki accounts that I've addd, yay! D:) --Rambutaan 11:12, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay... Enjoy and happy editing! Misery  12:11, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
