Summary: Sort order in Special:ListUsers should be
case-insensitive
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Until now Special:ListUsers sorts Users in this way:
AAA, AAB, ..., ABC, ...,
AZZZZZZZZZZZ,AAa,AAb,...AZZZZZZZZZZZZz,...,AZzzzzzzzz,...,Aaa,...
In short: the aaa-Usernames, differing only in upper-/lowercase-letters appear
in 2^3=8 total different places of the log.
It should be
AAA,AAa,AaA,Aaa,...
The ranking depending on upper-/lowercase-letters makes it nearly impossible
for Oversights to do a efficient search for libelous Usernames: The vandal only
has to create the same name over and over again with different combinations of
upper-lower-case letters and the bureaucrat/oversight has to search in dozens
of places in the logfiles.
