--- Comment #4 from Bartosz Dziewoński <[email protected]> --- Because 'realname' and 'emailaddress' are not actual user preferences stored in the (confusingly named) user_properties table, but properties of the user itself (like user name or password) stored in the user table (user_real_name and user_email fields). I don't know why they were implemented this way. 'emailaddress' is luckily not a problem here (it's not shown on Preferences; actually I don't know why it's in the blacklist), but 'realname' is. Perhaps it should get its own special page for changing it, like email and password? Or perhaps it should be converted into actual user pref? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
