Ah! Hm, that's a horse of a different color...

So now I'll have three Wikimedia global accounts, one for WMF official
usage, one personal, and one for Wikitech with all different names?

Or I should merge the Wikitech account with my WMF account of a different
name?

Is that something I can do without requesting a local rename first?
