Yes, I'm told this (near?) completion of account unification will happen in April 2015.

Indeed. The Great Renaming of 2015 is scheduled to begin on or around 15 April 2015.

IIRC, other than T73241, we have not sent any real email notification to the accounts in question. The only emails were Echo's undecipherable enotiftalk. I think affected users should receive at least one email on the matter at least one week before the renames.

Should/can we do a final sendConfirmAndMigrateEmail.php run over *all* email addresses (confirmed or not, owned by a global account or not) of all usernames with unattached accounts?

Based on the immediate response rate after the last ConfirmAndMigrate pass, as well as the response to the talk page notifications, I'm fairly convinced that another email pass is not necessary and that we've reached account holders who are likely to visit their accounts or check their email within a month. Those stats will be available again in graphic form when we can unbreak the graph from the spikes :) I'll see about getting another SUL audit update on mw.org.

\o/ https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2015-April/077623.html nearly all the renames are done, but this bug should stay open until $wgCentralAuthStrict = true on the cluster.

On svwiki, Special:UsersWhoWillBeRenamed still lists lots of user names, and there is one user with zero-length user name on dewiki. On the other hand, the special page doesn't list anyone on enwiki or jawiki. Is this intentional?

T5507?

Likely. Legoktm is going to resolve that when he gets back next week. Pretty much all he has to do is reconfigure Maintenance script and run it. There's other database cleanup stuff left to do, but for now we're 99.99995% complete, account-wise.

Update?

@Legoktm: Could you maybe reply to T37707#1290187 ?

Anybody: Also, is this task really still "Unbreak now" priority now that SUL is pretty much completed, or should the priority be adjusted?

Change 224510 had a related patch set uploaded (by Legoktm):

This was reverted in rOMWC24581d360ca3: Revert "Set $wgCentralAuthStrict = true;" because our logging wasn't working properly. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/224540/ should fix the logging, so we'll try again on Wednesday.

*FIREWORKS*

I don't know how to react to the pic above... but Lego is certainly the hero of the day!

And not with a bang, but a whimper.

To all who have worked on this project over the past decade: thank you, thank you, thank you.

fwiw: 55 people just got a notification and clicked on it just to be informed that this task isn't Epic anymore but now just "other completed". worth it?

(Moving columns is a pretty standard operation that people can filter out in their prefs if they so desire, so prolly not all 55 got a notif ;) )
