Description:
I was doing a rename on en.wiki of a user with 31,000 edits. The rename timed out and when I re-loaded, there were two user accounts. One at the original username and one at the target. Could a dev re-merge them into the target, as clearly it was a system error for it to split one account into two accounts. I also don't know which account the non-public data (password, email address, etc) ended up residing with.
The rename is logged at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&offset=&limit=1&type=renameuser&user=MBisanz&page=&tagfilter=&hide_patrol_log=1&hide_review_log=1
It involves http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Edinburgh_Wanderer being renamed to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Blethering_Scot
