Help with Login IDs?

[briar_pipe]

Ok, I've spent ~2 hours looking through Help and FAQ pages for this info, and no one's in the chatroom right now, so I guess this is my last stop. Help me, Fanlore geniuses - you're my only hope!

I originally started editing Fanlore using an OpenID account based on my LJ. But since I don't log into my LJ very often anymore, I went ahead and created a regular account. I assumed that after I did so, there would be a way to merge the two.

Silly me.

So now I have a user page and one set of watchlist/contribs under OpenID, and a second set under my new login. Does anyone have any idea how I get myself out of this mess? I would really rather keep the new login, if possible, especially since I've already contributed under it.

Thank you to anyone who has ideas!

I had a similar problem with my OpenID which I wanted to switch from LJ to DW , especially after the comm opened here for consistency, but I did not know how, and couldn't find anything in the help pages. However then someone told me that you can use the page that says it is to convert your regular login to an OpenID one also to change your OpenID URL:
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Special:OpenIDConvert
So with that you can turn your LJ OpenID account into a DW one. Or convert your new login to a DW OpenID

However I never made a second account, because the rules said you are only allowed one, so I don't know whether you could merge two accounts.

I'd been wondering how to do that. Thanks!

Oh, that might be useful, thanks! I'll try emailing them first, but they may end up directing me to your solution. ^_^ *makes note*
