But the patch works, you can't authenticate this way but need your real username. The patch is valid for MOST users, not all I agree. What I understand from your Bawolff@localhost address is that you have a Linux account on the Wikipedia servers. Would it be possible to process the mysql test of my Comment #9? With its result we could refine our estimation of what MOST means (suppressing also addresses @localhost) and thus have a better of how many wikipedians users could benefit of such a patch. > > There's certainly more that could be done with normalizations (IDN is > mentioned > above, etc) But at the basic level, if you type your exact letter for letter > email address in the login box, it should be able to find it in the system OK for the underscore which did not pass the getText!
