The point he's trying to make is that mzmcbride is a good username, so is MZMcBride, but Mzmcbride looks stupid. It's not that usernames are uniformly lowercase or uppercase; only the first letter is changed to be uppercase. This can cause problems, especially since, like I mentioned, $wgAuth->getCanonicalName() can actually change the username more (for example, LdapAuthentication actually makes the entire name lowercase). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
