Can't log in because username has mysteriously disappeared
I can't log in on a different laptop because the Wikipedia log-in page says my username doesn't exist. It certainly does exist and can be found in the history of numerous sites. I've also been very careful to type it correctly (it's just 8 digits long.) I don't want to say what it is here because that would compromise my privacy. Is there a confidential way I can consult with someone about this problem?
 * So, here's the thing. At some point you left Wikipedia and entered another website that uses the wiki format. Or in other words your account does not exist on this site but does exist on Wikipedia and potentially other Wikimedia sites, assuming you have a Wikimedia account. 15:24, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The ideal scenario would be to visit Special:CreateAccount and make an account here. 15:39, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your prompt reply, but I don't want to "make an account." I want to access my current account, because I don't want to lose my lengthy editing history. Maybe I'm writing this on the wrong page - I just saw that this page is for new accounts or infrequently used accounts. I've used my Wikipedia username for years. Can you kindly direct me to the correct page or HELP source to deal with this problem?
 * What was your username? I can check the logs.  ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 16:35, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not inclined to share my username here because it will then be linked publicly to my IP address. Is there any other way to get help with this problem other than making my identity public?
 * Don't know if it works for non-logged in users, but you can go to any user's userpage and use the "email this user" link on the left. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 16:50, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Another way to do this is to make an account and just use that account to request access to your old account. That will enable you to make the request without showing your IP address. Also, this is RationalWiki not Wikipedia. Bongolian (talk) 18:53, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * This Wiki doesn't use the Wikimedia Single User Login system, so there is absolutely zero chance of logging in here with your Wikipedia account. You can make an account with the same name, but it won't link via your Wikipedia global contribs, because RationalWiki is independent to Wikipedia. 20:31, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
