Bug #: 30286
Summary: allow login name to be different from the screen name
(currently only username is allowed)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User login
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Background: Currently, my username (Patriiiiiiiiiick) is blocked on Wikipedia
because it is deemed invalid. I've used this username for 15 years without
anybody getting offended.
Suggestion: Users should be able to login with a user of their choice but the
displayed screen name should be another string which could in turn be
moderated. There should be a private and a public side of a user account. This
would allow me to use the login name of my choice while using a screenname
which is accepted by the community.
