I used to edit under the same name at Wikitravel. I am no longer able to edit my userpage there. However, before leaving , I had managed to get in an edit [6] that links myself to the page on Wikivoyage general. At Wikivoyage general, I have linked back to my current page on Wikivoyage:en.

Spreading the love around.

Editing Wikitravel with this user page.
Editing Wikipedia with this user page (see "Other wikis" section).

WMF Migration/New policies/Cross-identification of accounts is confusing. Should it say "First create an account at ..." and specify either www.wikivoyage.org or the language version, eg, en.wikivoyage.org? I am still not sure what I should have done.

Yeah, it's just generally kind of confusing inherently. I hope to do away with this process after moving to the WMF, but I suppose we'll see. --Peter ^Talk 17:13, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, Ikan, your link was oversighted on WT. Can you try it again? LtPowers 20:39, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Suggestion: After you've created the diff, go to this page and put the diff URL in the "URL to Archive" field and your e-mail address in the e-mail field. This will give you a permanent link to www.webcitation.org which can't be oversighted. --Stefan2 20:34, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- - I can't do it anymore. When I try, I get this error message:

This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed. If you believe your edit was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: Salem's Lot

- - I got the same error message when trying to link my Wikivoyage account on my user page and my user talk page at Wikitravel.

N.B.: The error message Ikan received is from the Edit Filter. Filter 12 is called "Salem's Lot", after the Stephen King novel, and appears to prevent adding references to Wikivoyage in new edits (though it doesn't appear to prohibit editing a page that happens to have a link or reference already).

Thanks, Peter. What do I have to do to put the content of the Talk page for (WT-en) Ikan Kekek [22] into the Talk page for Ikan Kekek [23]?

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Do you want to redirect the old account pages to the new one? If so, move them and then leave a pointer (and the wtuser template) on the old userspace page, like this [24]. --Peter ^Talk 22:32, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
