Description

User SPBer has accounts on dewiki and commonswiki, but fails to autocreate an account on de.wikivoyage.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/SPBer
https://toolserver.org/~quentinv57/sulinfo/SPBer
https://toolserver.org/%7Eluxo/contributions/contributions.php?user=SPBer&blocks=true&lang=

He has complained about not being able to log into Wikivoyage:

https://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Cleanup#Benutzernamen_.22zu_.C3.A4hnlich.22.3F

He says when he tries to log in as user SPBer he gets an error message saying his user name does not exist in Wikivoyage. When he then tries to register this account in Wikivoyage another message appears saying the chosen user name was "too similar" ("zu ähnlich") to "Spber".

Could you please look into this issue?

Many thanks in advance!

No global account? Has he tried using Special:MergeAccount?

(In reply to comment #1)
Thx, I''ve asked him to try this.

User says merging accounts did the trick. Thanks for helping. I've marked the status resolved.
