My estimate: * Identify all of the wikis that ever used Phase I software. * Identify all of the characters forbidden in current MediaWiki usernames but allowed in Phase I. * Identify all of the users registered at those wikis with at least one of those characters in each name. * Find an appropriate alternative name (which probably needs to be done ad hoc; we know that [[User:Larry_Sanger]] was the same as [[User:Larry Sanger]], and we know that [[User:Ryan Lackey]] is a dummy account, but we don't know what's up with [[User:Nicholas_Lativy]] and it may be too late to ask). * Move the invalidly named account --possibly by hand-editing the database-- to the validly named account. This is a lot of work for little reward, so maybe we just need to keep this bug open (or is WONTFIX for this sort of thing?) so that people know about the possibility. And try not to let anything else interact badly with it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
