Hey all. I was on Uncyc a while back and am trying to get into my old account, but it won't work. When I try to log in, it says there's no account by that name, but when I try to make a new account with my old name, it says it's taken. Is there any way to access my old account? Also, I've been gone for nine years. What'd I miss? 172.56.40.147 (talk) 04:54, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

I've disabled MediaWikiAuth (the extension that we used to migrate accounts from wikia), so you should be able to just remake the account now (try again). It blocked account creation through other means to prevent impersonation, but I think at this point it's not really necessary anymore anyway. Also now we can probably finally upgrade mw. Maybe.
