[01:02:34] [[Tech]]; Tacsipacsi; /* Is this a bug? */ no, just a typo; https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=23271588&oldid=23268962&rcid=24002668 [08:24:52] [[Tech]]; L10nM4st3r; /* Is this a bug? */; https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=23272193&oldid=23271588&rcid=24004106 [14:43:17] I can't seem to reset my password for my wikitech account [14:44:12] I've sent a password reset request to the account that was attached yesterday but no emails have come through [14:46:09] How do you find out the email address used by a wikitech account? [14:46:18] It says that these email addresses are public [14:46:32] But I can't find out where they are publicly shown [14:47:13] If I knew which email was attached to the account it would help me to try to reset the password as so far I've been checking all the email addresses I could have used [14:52:48] I've found my membership request for Toolforge but no email and the associated wikitech account is the one that was created yesterday even though it's linked from 2019? https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools/membership/status/447 [15:01:01] Can anyone with a wikitech account see if I have an email address attached to the account? I presume "Email this user" would show up if I have an attached email address on that account, and if that's the case then if someone could email me using that I could then see which email address it goes to. [15:01:18] Account is https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Dreamy_Jazz [15:05:54] If no-one is sure, is there a WMF / other community place I can contact to ask about getting access back to the account. I tried to create a new developer account, but it won't let me as my wiki account is already connected to a wikitech account [15:14:06] Dreamy_Jazz: Special:EmailUser claims you have “not specified a valid email address” [15:14:26] Strange. [15:14:57] I presume then my wikitech account has no email, but as an email is required for a developer account I don't see how that could be possible. [15:15:01] umm, there definitely was an email attached to that developer account when I attached it to wikitech yesterday [15:15:10] Even stranger [15:15:52] user_email in the database seems to be empty (whereas e.g. for my own account there’s an email in there) [15:16:25] Obviously I can't password reset using the form unless I have an email, so that explains why I wasn't getting anywhere with that [15:16:39] it's gone from ldap too, where I took it yesterday [15:17:26] I've not managed to log in to that account, so I presume this is a MediaWiki issue? [15:17:46] As I presume the only way to remove an email is if it's removed by the user when logged in [15:18:47] bd808: help? even resetUserEmail.php doesn't seem to be doing anything [15:20:59] Dreamy_Jazz: something indeed seems broken with the developer account system, although I am not quite sure what that 'something' is yet [15:21:11] As the email used is supposed to be public anyway, if manual insertion to the DB is needed to fix please use dreamyjazzwikipedia@gmail.com [15:22:22] * bd808 reads backscroll [15:23:28] note that's a different email from what I had (and that developer account emails are shown publicly in various places) [15:25:31] Might have been wpgbrown@hotmail.co.uk as that's the email I used previously for WMF projects [15:25:46] The email for the developer account (ldap record) for cn=Dreamy Jazz is empty. The LDAP record was created 2018-12-28T21:13:38Z but the account was only attached on wikitech yesterday? [15:26:10] correct, I attached it yesterday manually to allow a password reset [15:26:34] taavi: and you set the email when you did that, correct? [15:26:49] correct, it was that hotmail address I found from ldap [15:26:57] * bd808 is wondering what's up with the missing mail attribute on the LDAP record [15:27:07] the exact commands should be in my labweb1002 bash history, if you're curious [15:29:11] interestingly I can see the email set in the wikitech database [15:29:20] * bd808 scratches head [15:40:49] Dreamy_Jazz: I have manually fixed your developer account (LDAP) to match the email in the wikitech MediaWiki user table. Both are now the hotmail address. Hopefully this will let you use https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PasswordReset now. [15:41:08] Thanks. I will try now [15:41:19] * bd808 crosses fingers [15:41:30] Yup it's worked [15:41:39] Thanks for fixing everyone [15:44:28] Changed password and also changed email to the one I now use. Thanks again. [15:45:50] Out of paranoia I double checked and the email change applied to both the MediaWiki account and the backing LDAP account. [15:46:38] Good. Thanks for checking. I presume it was all because I created a account for toolforge but never needed to access th e wikitech account [15:47:30] But hopefully whatever the cause of the disappearing email is won't affect me anymore [16:09:36] the 2022 StackOverflow Developer Survey is open now: https://stackoverflow.blog/2022/05/11/stack-overflow-2022-developer-survey-is-open/
