No problem at all, Andre.

What? Create account?

- I would like to create account because user asked me to.

- He asked me to because he can not do it himself.

- He can not do it because of MediaWiki:Titleblacklist

- That is already written in original bugreport

> And after reading this twice I still fail to understand which steps to perform
in which order, in order to reproduce the problem. Sorry. :-/

- Maybe we can go together through original bugreport:

"Account TCN7JM was created on most WMF wikis except one or two, due to rules
in
MediaWiki:Titleblacklist."

That means, "Account TCN7JM was created on most WMF wikis", but not on all
wikis, due to rules in MediaWiki:Titleblacklist.

"Before MW 1.22 it was possible for admin to create account for user (simpler
than changing MediaWiki:Titleblacklist)."

That means, in earlier versions of MW it was possible for admin to create
account for user which user himself/herself could not open.

"Today I got following: "Account creation error
Cannot create account: the requested username is already taken in the unified
login system."

That means, instead of MW creating new account, it miserably fails.

"Tried twice, thought that only filing bug report here will help, but
workaround
solved problem (created temp name and renamed it to wished name - TCN7JM)."

That means I tried twice to create account, but MW repeatedly failed to do what
is ordered to. Well, good thing is that behavior is consistent, but it would be
nicer if behavior would be consistently smart than otherwise.

"Anyhow, that should not happen, as check for wanted user name on local wiki
gave: "User account "TCN7JM" is not registered."

Finally, that means MW fail should not happen.

Kind regards

   Speedy
