What does Special:ListUsers =/= list of all users with SUL mean? I thought the problem was to find account names that are not being used. If you search for a name you think you might want to use it returns a list of existing accounts. What is "SUL"? I know I'm supposed to understand Wikipedia acronyms, but I almost never do, unless I use them regularly myself, but I try to never use them, so never get practiced up.
