[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T182800: Username beginning with asterisk renders as list in “restore”/“undo” edit summaries of Wikibase items

[Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE]

Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE added a comment.

Are there any other possible usernames that cause a bug like this? I could only find ;dl, definition list syntax (which is also only effective due to the {{GENDER}} template, and would otherwise have no special meaning in the middle of a line).

• :, #, <, >, [, ], {, } are not allowed in usernames.
• ' appears to get escaped.
• & is allowed in usernames, and in fact MediaWiki seems to treat &quot; and " as the same user everywhere, so I assume allowing HTML entities in usernames is a feature(?). However, “double HTML entities” like &amp;quot; are not allowed.

Any obscure bits of wikitext I forgot?
