--- Comment #5 from Bryan Davis <[email protected]> ---
(From dup bug 70058)
> 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.
