Summary: Special:GlobalUsers doesn't properly normalize
underscores in usernames
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: CentralAuth
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
If a username with underscores is passed to Special:GlobalUsers, the
corresponding user won't be shown in the list. However, the form on the
results page will show the username correctly normalized, and clicking the
submit button again will produce the expected output.
The immediate issue could be fixed by adding an extra normalization step, e.g.
using Title::makeTitleSafe() like Special:ListUsers does. However, the actual
underlying problem is that the way the GlobalUsersPager class extends
UsersPager is messed up and needlessly (and sometimes incorrectly) reimplements
much of the parent class's functionality. Simply removing some of the
redundant code and instead reusing the existing features of the parent class
would fix this bug as well as various other inconsistencies (such as bug 19131,
I suspect).
