Description:
Hi.

So I requested change of my username from "Mihael Simonič" to "smihael" and after that some edits were not moved to my new username.

See [[:w:sl:Posebno:Contributions/Mihael_Simonič|list of such a edits]] (approximately 500 out of 12,500 edits total ([[:w:sl:Posebno:Contributions/Smihael]]).

Maybe a interesting bit is that all edits that wern't moved has been made in December 2006 and January 2007. And, why this happened?

Is possible to move them to my new username?

Thank you!

PS: sorry if there is another bug like that ... i didn't find it.

This is possible with [[mw:Extension:ChangeAuthor]], but I don't think it's currently installed at Wikipedia.

By filing a bug here.

Please do not expect that the above extension will be installed. I suggest to withdraw the installation request, and keep this a shell request. bug 14673 comment 6 contains a sample query.

You can ask a bureaucrat to rename you from Smihael to Mihael Simonič and then revert the rename back from Mihael Simonič to Smihael (after waiting for a while to make sure that the job queue is low). This most probably should solve the issue.
