             Bug #: 38762
           Summary: Local entries in MediaWiki:Titleblacklist for
                    <newaccountonly> prevents SUL-accounts from being
                    created locally
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: CentralAuth

Lines like:

  .*\(.+\)$ <newaccountonly> # Участник:%username%_(сексуалист)

... (from http://ru.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Titleblacklist but this is
just an example) are unhelpful if your username is [[User:Jdforrester (WMF)]].
(Declaring my interest. :-) )

It's a tad annoying, as there's no socially-appropriate way of bypassing the
local rule. However, it's not clear to me what the resolution is. Longer-term,
we could do user name blocks globally rather than locally as part of our work
towards final SUL switch-over, whenever that happens, but that's not helpful.
