Chris,
I think your browser has a cookie identifying you with your old LP id. Try clearing your cookies for ubuntu.com, closing your browser, and then revisiting wiki.ubuntu.com. I just did that in Firefox and verified that I had to enter my credentials anew.
There may be a chance that the wiki is holding onto your old LP id and it may need to be cleared. Try the cookie suggestion first and report back here if you need additional help.
Thanks,
Brad

Brad,
Thanks for your help, unfortunately it still doesn't work. I have tried it on multiple machines and had tried to clear the cache in the past (Forgot to mention that). I tried it again just now and it still doesn't work for me :-(. I do have to login a second time to Launchpad since I am using edge, do you think there may be any connection to the double LP authentication and this issue?
Here is some of the typical behaviour I have experienced:
1. Clear the Private data checking the cookies.
2. Login to https:/
3. I am taken to https:/
4. Click on my name in the upper right corner, and it goes to my overview page: https:/
5. click on Log in/Register and it prompts me for my credentials, which I use the same ones, and then I'm in fully in to Launchpad.
At any time during either login I get the same results when trying to log in to the wiki.ubuntu.com.
When I try to login to the wiki.ubuntu.com I do the same as above. When I get prompted to use my password for itnet7, no matter what password I try to use it fails. So I choose to click Log in/Register link in the upper right hand corner of the page asking me for the password for itnet7. It shows me my openID credentials, listing itnet7 which is the account I am trying to authenticate with.
Here is the OpenID stuff that comes up:
Sign in as Chris Crisafulli?
These details will be sent to Ubuntu Wiki:
* Chris Crisafulli
* itnet7
* <email address hidden>
* America/New_York
By clicking Sign in, I just continue to get asked for my password for itnet7. Seems kind of strange since itnet7 is clearly listed there.
Hope this helps. I can send some screen shots if there is any clarification needed. I read in some similar issues as this that there is the possibility of a zombie account being in the wiki.ubuntu.com. is there a chance the current account for itnet7 can be renamed so I can re-register it? Also is there a chance that the account itself has been permanently disabled on accident?
Thanks for your time,
Chris

Chris,
The IS guys have made some changes on the wiki.ubuntu.com side. Please try again.

Brad,
I have tried it again and unfortunately it still continues to prompt me for the password. Thanks so much for continuing to work on this, I would let this go, but I would like to be able to edit my loco team wiki seamlessly.
Thanks for your time.

Chris, I just tried to verify this with my own account and had no trouble getting into wiki.ubuntu.com (even though the latter was very slow). So I don't think this is indicative of some openid session problems we've been having lately. That jives with the fact that clearing your cookies doesn't help.
I don't think the edge/non-edge double login is coming into play here.
I'm assigning this issue to the Launchpad admins because you maybe right that it's a problem with your account merge.

Please keep me updated... It would be great to be able to use my own account again to edit on the loco wiki :-)

I suspect that what is happening is that the OpenID identifier linked to your Wiki account is the identifier of your old account. Since Launchpad is returning the new one, the wiki might reject it and ask you to log it again.
I'm chasing this hypothesis right now...

I noticed I had an unmerged account from January of this year somehow. So I merged the accounts in launchpad. Although this may not be entirely relevant I thought I should mention it.
Chris,
I have updated your Moin user profile. Please try again and login with your Lauchpad id 'itnet7' and let me know the results.
AFAIK this is a bug in the Moin OpenID module and we are currently working on a fix (#342431).

Andrew,
Thanks so much, it is now working perfectly.

Hi!
I wanted to contribute to the wiki for the first time today. And I've got exactly the same problem.

Then comes the password prompt at the wiki site which won't let me in. ("Wrong password...")
The first time I tried I also got a error message. Probably the debug info there helps you. I've replace my password in that html file to XXX-password-
