 * 1) it makes for easier browsing of that users talk pages and they are the same person anyways.
 * 2) Great idea; per Kart Player 2011.

I thought it's required to do this anyhow? Carrying accounts over carries the track records and stuff. 17:56, 16 January 2015 (EST)
 * Yeah, it is: any cases where it hasn't been done are simply oversights. This proposal's unnecessary, and should be deleted (without archiving), but I'll give the proposer a chance to check back and do it themself before yanking it out from under them. -
 * There has been cases where entire talk pages have been outright deleted instead, mostly at the request of the moved account holder. We probably shouldn't allow that, but the few times it was asked of me, no one said anything for or against. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Ghost Jam[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 03:27, 17 January 2015 (EST)
 * I guess no one noticed and/or cared enough to address the issue when that happened, but those were mistakes. Unless the original account had nothing on the talk page but a welcome template (or a blanked page after they removed the template), and nothing linked there, since then there'd really be nothing to move and no point behind the exercise, but if there's any sort of history, it has to be carried over. A lot of the time, I've had to cut and paste the content instead of moving the whole thing since the new account racked up chatter before they got caught (or copy the new chatter, delete the new page, move the old page and then paste the new chatter underneath, depending on which page is more exhaustive), but that's still better than nothing. I'm surprised it's not written down somewhere (guess it's because it doesn't happen too often?); perhaps it'd be worth putting a note about in the blocking policy or something, rather than leaving it as an unwritten admin rule... -
