This is really a UX question, not design per se.
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/104926/ (an under-review change) adds
a warning if you choose a username that needs to be
reformatted/canonicalized. For example, "my username" is changed to "My
username".
Umherirrender abandoned the change for now. However, they created a bug
to track it, https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61416
I extended the change with additional client-side checks and resubmitted:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/114400 . It behaves basically the same, but we
check everything with an AJAX request if the user has JavaScript enabled, no
form resubmitting needed. It was also easy to add checks for invalid or taken
usernames, so I did that as well. Reviews welcome :)
