[11:18:37] Hello [11:19:10] !help [11:19:10] KevalPandya: If you don't get a response in 15-30 minutes, please create a phabricator task -- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=wmcs-team [11:20:16] !help I'd like to delete my wikitech.wikimedia.org account. Can anyone help? [11:20:16] KevalPandya: If you don't get a response in 15-30 minutes, please create a phabricator task -- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=wmcs-team [11:37:55] hey KevalPandya [11:37:59] I think I can help [11:38:13] Sure. Thanks. [11:38:23] So, how can I delete my account? [11:39:12] I'm reading the docs, please give me a minute [11:39:34] Sure. No problem. [11:42:29] KevalPandya: I'm reading that mediawiki users can't be deleted, because that would break page histories, logs, etc cc jynus [11:42:53] KevalPandya: it would help to know what you are trying to achieve [11:43:21] e.g. not reciving notifications, making it imposssible to take it over, etc. [11:43:22] I'm not using my account. It's not needed anymore. [11:43:37] if it is not needed anymore, just stop using it :-) [11:44:13] Yes. But I wanted to close my account. Is there any way to delete or something? [11:44:41] we could perhaps do this https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/GDPR_(General_Data_Protection_Regulation)_and_MediaWiki_software#Deleting_User_accounts [11:45:48] we never delete accounts [11:46:27] Extension:DisableAccount & Extension:Renameuser seems great. Can we work around it? [11:46:59] in the unusual base we could block it [11:47:35] Block what? [11:47:59] block your account from editing [11:48:07] but that is pointless [11:48:38] Extension:DisableAccount & Extension:Renameuser. Can this happen? [11:49:15] KevalPandya: I'm not sure these extensions are present in wikitech [11:49:52] no. at least if you want that to happen, you need to file a request on phabricator to get them installed, so wait a few months, years, or decades [11:50:54] Okay. So I guess there is no hope to delete my account!? [11:51:34] if you don’t want your account, just set the password to something completely random and not memorize/record it, and never use the account again [11:51:54] I don’t know why deleting your account would benefit anyone [11:52:32] Okay. Can I change my WikiTech username? [11:53:22] maybe. arturo is renameuser installed? [11:53:42] I think it could be possible, https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/LDAP/Renaming_users Please file a ticket or a request on wikitech (the wiki) itself [11:54:58] zhuyifei1999_: it seems it is https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RenameUser [11:55:04] (thanks jynus ) [11:55:17] arturo: it needs more work than that, see my link [11:55:24] it requires rename on gerrit and ldap [11:55:29] When I opened Special:RenameUser page it shows me "You do not have permission to rename users, for the following reason: The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Bureaucrats." [11:55:47] KevalPandya: yeah, that's expected [11:55:48] as I said, KevalPandya, I think its possible [11:55:59] please fill a phab ticket requesting it [11:56:19] just request it on phabricator or on the wiki so we can check it it is you requesting it :-) [11:56:33] How to do that? @arturo [11:57:18] in the case of phabricator, go here https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/auth/start/?next=%2F and log in using wikitech [11:57:32] and the create a new task with tag 'cloud-services-team' [11:57:37] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/auth/start/ [11:57:40] that [11:58:05] and then https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/ <--- to create a new task [12:00:07] Seems to be a problem. Last time 1 year ago I deleted my Wikipedia account and other accounts related to it. [12:00:47] Only account left is this WikiTech. There is no option to login with WikiTech in phabricator portal. [12:02:33] wikitech == developer account [12:02:50] it is the option on the right [12:03:13] wikipedia/wikimedia accounts are the regular wikis [12:03:30] But I never set up "LDAP" account. [12:03:38] LDAP is wikitech [12:03:45] it is just the technical term [12:04:22] SUL is what the wikipedia system is called internally [12:04:29] and LDAP is what wikitech system is called [12:05:09] Oh okay [12:05:16] I managed to login. [12:05:30] It says "Your account has been created, but needs to be approved by an administrator. You'll receive an email once your account is approved." [12:05:42] oh, let me ping one [12:05:48] this was because spam [12:06:10] Sure. [12:12:44] I got the attention of one [12:13:19] Okay. They might be activating account, right? [12:13:33] hopefully yes [12:13:56] Sure. Thanks. Waiting for it... :) [12:14:19] sorry for taking so long, developer accounts are a bit more complicated than regular accounts [12:14:48] No problem. It's surely long process... [12:15:10] It's approved [12:15:11] Account has been approved... :) [12:15:16] cool [12:15:27] so just create a ticket with what you want [12:15:40] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/ [12:15:53] Sure... Doing it... [12:16:01] probably you'll now want the phabricator account deleted, too :-) [12:16:07] or renamed [12:16:37] Can it be deleted? [12:17:08] ask with what you want, I will ask what can be done [12:17:56] Sure... I'm asking to delete it. If not possible to delete it, I'll ask for account rename... [12:18:10] the wiki may not be fully deleted, but the associated ones may be disabled or hidden, depending on the actions done [12:18:13] What should I enter in "Assigned To"? [12:18:21] leave it empty [12:18:36] someone will assign it to him/herself [12:19:07] Okay... [12:19:40] Tags & Subscribers? [12:20:29] tags: wikitech.wikimedia.org and LDAP are ok, don't worry too much [12:20:43] I will find someone to help [12:21:38] Sure... [12:22:04] so developers account are many services- when one opens one account, they have access to many things- some may be fully closed/disabled, some like wikitech, could be only renamed [12:22:07] Done [12:22:35] thanks, I can see it [12:22:40] Okay. I'll remember that... :) [12:22:45] Sure... [12:23:07] I will try to find someone that can attend that [12:23:25] and you will be able to check progress even if you no longer have such accounta availavle at that url [12:23:30] ok? [12:23:51] sorry for the long process, technical limitation + temporary issues with accounts due to spam [12:24:40] Okay. No problem. I'll be in touch... [13:50:45] as someone not yet 100% clear on the different account type and purposes, reading this discussion was very helpful in understanding how things work, thank you [22:29:54] (03PS1) 10Alex Monk: Slow down polling by a factor of 12 to avoid Phabricator rate limit.
