Summary: AntiSpoof clobbering mixed case users.
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: AntiSpoof
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Say there's an existing user named Sriniw8z in the wiki. This get's normalized
to: v2:5R1N1W8Z
Say this user has been gone for many many years so you override AntiSpoof to
create a user named:
SRINIW8Z, which also gets normalized into v2:5R1N1W8Z.
Now in the spoofusers table, you'd expect to see both entries?
However in MySQL's case insenitive nature, it clobbers the old entry since the
query in batchRecord uses a replace call, and you just get the second one
listed. This throws off later AntiSpoof checks as they'll only show one
similar user, instead of multiple.
Seems to work as intended with PG, I dont know if this is an artifact of the
old DB style WMF uses, I dont have a new UTF-8 MySQL to test on.
