I wanted to try to clarify where I think the problem exists and maybe try to reach a solution that addresses the problem more abstractly. In systems which distinct user names are required there is a high probability that a user name may be taken already On foundation wikis there are both policies and extensions which attempt to prohibit the selection of certain user names due to similarity with other user names, prohibited characters, structure of name (no email addresses) and other rules that establish what a user name can and cannot be. These are both real issues, and can't really be solved per se. There are other issues, for example, mediawiki’s current inability to resolve user names irrespective of their capitalization The need for usernames to start with an initial capital. These are issues that can be changed, not to say that they are simple or easy to change, but they are changeable. Penalizing users, making user flows more difficult or doing anything that causes account creation to be harder than it already is (CAPTCHAs, complex name rules, lack of federated login and asynchronous validation of errors in the forms) is a misstep we cannot afford. While I respect the goals of this work, I feel the execution causes more issues than it solves. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61416 --- Comment #31 from Bartosz Dziewoński matma@gmail.com --- (In reply to Steven Walling from comment #10) (In reply to Tyler Romeo from comment #9) What if you register this__is__my__username and it gets corrected to This is my username? This is part of the problem. This is basically the first time I've heard this brought up. On the Design list where this was brought up, I don't think anyone shared a list of everything canonicalization currently does? I'm afraid this is not cleanly documented anywhere, and these things are too many to sanely list. The parts that could reasonably be encountered by normal people ;) are I think underscores → spaces, capitalization, and removing excess spaces. For details, see Title::newFromText() and Title::secureAndSplit() (a total of around 200 lines of rather well-commented code). On top of that, no one knows how often any of these cases *actually happen*. It's entirely possible that hundreds of thousands of new account creators register with lowercase via mobile, and less than 1,000/year do with underscores. Or the opposite. Or neither. We don't know. The fact that the problem is partially undefined and definitely unmeasured makes it difficult for people who care about having a clean, not annoying user experience accept that we should throw additional warnings and barriers at so many users during a critical step. Would it be possible to measure that? Could we do it? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61416 --- Comment #4 from Bartosz Dziewoński matma@gmail.com --- (In reply to Nemo from comment #3) I understand that the implementation issues with JavaScript described in http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/design/2014-January/001357.html were solved Yes, there is a non-JavaScript fallback and I solved the validity checking thing by just doing everything server-side. A better solution would be to do what Umherirrender suggested in comment 0: Along to the warning it can be possible to add a api call for validation of the username and provide ajax warnings, so the user has not to resubmit the form. This can be reached by a dry-run parameter for API's action=accountcreation. For non-javascript users the warning should stay. (I currently implemented some custom checking for just the username.) This would require some reworking of the internals, I'm afraid. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61416 --- Comment #6 from Jon jrob...@wikimedia.org --- Out of interest why does this matter? I seem to have missed the problem here. If I register with the username an unusual username and it gets corrected to An unusual username in my opinion as long as if I login with username an unusual username and it still logs me in as that user (if it doesn't then in my opinion that is the bug here) it shouldn't be a problem. Also the original patch used the words technical issues - this to me suggests the site itself is having problems and it is not obvious it is actually related to some MediaWiki code constraint. The word 'standardise' seems more applicable here. Please re-think about mobile when rewriting this patch.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61416 --- Comment #19 from Jon jrob...@wikimedia.org --- FWIW I think all usernames should be case insensitive and I think it's a terrible design oversight that we support case sensitive usernames. The username Jdlrobson should be the same as jdlrobson and should be the same as JdlRobson in a username lookup. I think this is a huge bug (I'm not sure if it has previously been raised).

You're just throwing information at them they can't really act on, other than to not register or pick a completely different username which will be subject to the same rules. The point he's trying to make is that mzmcbride is a good username, so is MZMcBride, but Mzmcbride looks stupid. It's not that usernames are uniformly lowercase or uppercase; only the first letter is changed to be uppercase. This can cause problems, especially since, like I mentioned, $wgAuth-getCanonicalName() can actually change the username more (for example, LdapAuthentication actually makes the entire name lowercase). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

If yes please file bugs for the followups. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
