#2587: Wiki: permission error when accessing Watchlist

One of the important feature to monitor changes on a wiki is the
'watchlist'. Unfortunately, at the moment, users cannot access their own
watchlist on OSGeo's wiki.
Trying to access https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Watchlist generates
the error message:
{{{
Permission error
You do not have permission to view your watchlist, for the following
reason:
The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: *.
}}}
Furthermore, there are no links to the Watchlist in the wiki top-bar tabs.
Thanks!

I don't see your account in the system. What is your wiki login or do you
not have one. If you never had one, just log in and see if you still
can't see the watchlist.

Thanks @robe , here's my user account:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Aleroux , this account has been live
since at least 2006 (see userpage history) and has been recently
mandatorily migrated to the LDAP users accounts.
The error I reported currently happens when logged in. I've been using the
Watchlist feature on the OSGeo wiki for ++years and the feature now seems
broken / inaccessible. Thanks!

In case (@robe), you need a working account for comparison:
- my watchlist works fine: "271 pages are on your Watchlist (plus talk
pages). Email notification is enabled"

Try now. We still have a bug in that migrated accounts aren't been
removed from "needs merging" and "merge in progress". I just removed
those from your account.
