Bug ID: 48640
Summary: Permit all lowercase usernames
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.22-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal

MediaWiki should permit all lowercase usernames. There is
[[mw:$wgCapitalLinkOverrides]], but it currently doesn't apply to User:,
Special: and MediaWiki: namespaces.
Per IRC (#mediawiki):
<route> i've just modded 1.20.5 to permit all lowercase usernames, to do this
i've removed NS_USER from the $alwaysCapitalizedNamespaces array in
Namespace.php and i've removed calls to $wgContLang->ucfirst( $name ) in
User.php. i've created a user and it seems to have worked as i'd expect -- is
there anything i might be overlooking that could cause problems in future?
This was first allowed when the feature was implemented (r57558), then
disallowed back (r57559, r58401, r60063) with unclear comments about MediaWiki
crashing. This was back in 2009, though, and a lot might have changed.
