Please merge my wiki profiles

[BlackDoomer]

Could the admins please merge my Chernov profile on the wiki into the older Black Doomer? I completely forgot about it and therefore registered again.
Apparently MediaWiki supports this, albeit through an extension: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserMerge

If you also rename the resulting user to BlackDoomer, it would be even better.
Thanks anyway.

And by the way, why can't I change my signature and contacts on the forum now?..

There might be some features turned off for users that are below a certain postcount. You can thank the spammers for that feature.

This extension is not installed. I doubt the MediaWiki admin(s) will install it just for you, nor will they tamper with databases on their own. You will now have forever two accounts. You can at least

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]

1. #REDIRECT [[User: Black Doomer]]

your Chernov user page.

It’s probably like TRon already wrote, you have too few posts to qualify for that feature.

[…] The exception is the newbie state, which limits a few things (such as editing the signature) that are often used by spammers. […]

Asking is not a crime! At the same time, installing it does not seem so difficult, and it may even turn out to be useful in the future.

Installing it is not a problem, it is making sure the identity matches.

Uhhh, that's a good question.

See this, for example: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,27855.0.html
I posted it as a "Black Doomer", and it refers to my GitHub: https://github.com/cher-nov
Related Mantis feature request, which also mentions "Black Doomer" and "Dmitry D. Chernov" as the same person: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/issues/27891
Since it was created before GitLab, I no longer have access to it and couldn't tamper with it.

Let me know if there is any additional information needed.

Your English is excellent.
Why not stick with Dmitry D. Chernov?  A noble name with a history!

Thank you for being supportive, but it's not quite mine: I try hard to achieve accuracy and ensure peculiarities with Google Translate.

An ordinary Russian one, isn't it? Anyway, I try to keep sharp the line between my real and online identities. But that's an offtop here, I guess.
