RenameUser announcement

I'm not sure it's particularly useful to ask people to visit MergeAccount: IIRC the same thing happens automatically when one logs in now, doesn't it? The bulk of unmerged usernames is with the accounts not logging in for more than one year, who are unlikely to see this message. --Nemo 11:56, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

I don't think so; I frequently see that a user who just edited still has no global account (even though it is the local account which is eligible for obtaining the global one). --MF-W 11:59, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
Maybe their passwords don't match? $wgCentralAuthAutoMigrate uses [1] and that caught most cases, but sure, visiting MergeAccount never harms. :) --Nemo 13:05, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
Here a user said all his accounts have the same password. He chose not to visit Special:MergeAccount with the one account, and there is no global account yet. --MF-W 13:22, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
