Jack_who_built_the_house added a comment to T272297: User script on user subpage doesn't work after user rename.

So, if a Toolforge account maintaining a script is adopted, the script is moved, BAM – all script users no longer can load it, until an interface-admin runs a bot task to replace the user name in the scripts loading it. (This is what just happened in ruwiki.)
