Summary: Local user rename interferes with checking SUL-status of
account
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: CheckUser
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
A local rename on a wiki interferes with a checkuser. When an offencing account
has been locked and hidden globally, it should be listed when performing a
checkuser. However, when the offencing account name has been renamed locally
prior to performing a usercheck, the CU-interface lists the old username.
Mediawiki does not display "(locked)" anymore though, which hinders appropriate
reaction and tracking of offencing account name vandals.
Probably, the reason might be that mediawiki compares the usernames where user
ID/SUL ID number should be compared (or the reverse).
