- @Nihonjoe:Well, to be honest, I have no idea what this even means. I tried merging by using the link you provided. I got a textbox telling me my accounts were merged. When I click the "unattached accounts"-link that takes med to the "global account information"-page, it tells me I have 30 attached accounts, and then it lists them up. By the way, why are there so many accounts? For example, I see pl.wikipedia, es.wikipedia and sr.wikipedia, but I speak not polish, nor spanish or serbian. In addition, when I click the different links on the global account information-page (for example sv.wikipedia.org), it tells me that a user with my name does not exist.

- @Fluoresce98: The reason you have accounts on other Wiki's is most likely because you visited those other wiki's at one point. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 13:43, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Blaze Wolf:@Nihonjoe: Might be, but I am still waiting for an answer to most of my questions above. Why does the account information-page and the merge-page tell me my accounts are attached, if they are not?
