Bug #: 29621
Summary: Can't create a username with multiple spaces in it
(should fail better or something)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User login
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: bawolff...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Filing a bug mostly because I don't know what to do about it.
Tried to create an account named "tst login" (note double space). This failed
due to the check:
$parsed = Title::newFromText( $name );
if( is_null( $parsed )
|| $parsed->getNamespace()
|| strcmp( $name, $parsed->getPrefixedText() ) ) {
Which is meant to detect namespace prefixes. (the third part checks if its
equal to its normalization, and fails if not)
We should probably just give a warning if the user name normalizes to something
different then typed. We should also more generally be specific why things
fail.
