Bug ID: 70058
Summary: Ajax check for username availability is not aware of
global accounts that are not attached to the local
wiki
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.24-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User login and signup
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

The check in
resources/src/mediawiki.special/mediawiki.special.userlogin.signup.js that
attempts to help the user choose an available username is not aware of
CentralAuth accounts that have not been attached to the local wiki. This is due
to the use of /w/api.php?action=query&list=users to power the check.
Example:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=users&ususers=BryanDavis
* http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=users&ususers=BryanDavis
The conflict will be noticed when the form is submitted, but it would be nicer
if users were warned about global user conflicts by the pre-submit validation.
