The main mediawiki server and DB do the right thing with @ symbols, but the user rights tools can't. There's a user on english wikipedia with one of those, it's a known issue. New MW distributions apparently default to not letting you set up accounts with @ symbols in them, though I haven't tested that. -- -george william herbert [email protected] _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
