Bartosz Dziewoński <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] Blocks| |17544 --- Comment #1 from Bartosz Dziewoński <[email protected]> --- Known issue, the functionality was added in 74b222230 with the comment: > The way this is done (via action=query&list=users API) means that we > can't check for all possible error conditions, both for the username > (e.g. these enforced by extensions like AntiSpoof) and other parts of > the form (e-mail, password…) – these are still handled server-side > only. Thus we intentionally never say that whatever the user typed in > is valid – we only warn when we know it's not. > > Doing this "properly" would require some reworking of the internals of > the signup process and this way is already a huge improvement. Basically, this would probably be best solved with a "dry run" mode for the registration form. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
