Bug #: 34447
Summary: "Check Availability" feature for usernames at
registration interface
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: svenmangu...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
The proposal at VP:P was:
"I think Wikipedia should implement a "Check Availability" feature for
usernames (as offered by YouTube) for editors who are newly registering at
Wikipedia. As of now, if a username is already taken, the user have to retype
the password and the annoying CAPTCHA after choosing a new username.
Implementation of this proposed feature will save a lot of time"

)
As it achieved a unanimous consensus for support, I brought it here.
