Bug ID: 46768
Summary: MediaWiki messages use user id instead of username for
numerical usernames
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
In MediaWiki messages that display usernames, if the parameter input is
numerical, the software assumes that it must be a user id. This breaks the
message for users with purely numerical usernames.
This bug came to light after [[User:7]] on the English Wikipedia blocked
themselves for April Fools, but the blocking user was displayed as
[[User:Joao]] (user id 7). See the following:
