Bug ID: 69128
Summary: Echo links to [[User:(Username or IP removed)]] for
usernames which have been oversighted
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Echo

Today I had a talk page message from someone who was mistakenly logged out. I
revision-deleted the username from the message, and the username was later
oversighted. Now when I go to [[Special:Notifications]] I see the message
"(Username or IP removed) left a message on your talk page." In this message,
the text "(Username or IP removed)" is linked to the page [[User:(Username or
IP removed)]].
Instead of linking to a non-existent user, we should either just not link the
text, or better, have a custom message like "A user whose username or IP was
removed left a message on your talk page."
