Summary: Account login attempts are sometimes interpreted as
account creation attempts
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: User login
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: m...@chrishowie.com
On unblock-en-l we consistently (about 2-3 times a month) see someone who is
having trouble logging in when their IP address is blocked. When they attempt
to log in, they receive a "cannot create account" error message.
We have verified with many of these users that they are entering their account
name in the correct case, and that the account already exists (e.g. it's not an
attempt by SUL to create an account).
I'm unsure what information you will need to investigate this bug. Just let me
know.
