Summary: Lowercase logins causes MediaWiki to crash on
CapitalLinks set to false
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: Normal
Component: User login
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Usernames start with a capital letter (in accordance with the regular MediaWiki
scheme). And MediaWiki should handle making the first letter a capital letter,
even if the user tries to log in in entirely lowercase.
E.g. Logging in as 'svip' would change it to 'Svip'.
But for some reason, this does not accord if $wgCapitalLinks is set to false on
the newest revision of MediaWiki. Instead, such an attempt produces the
following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getName() on a non-object
/includes/specials/SpecialUserlogin.php on line 441
To avoid the error, simply logging in the correct case fixes the issue. I
assume this bug is trivial, but critical regardless.
