This was for a feature request. Namely, that the display name be different from
the registered user name. There are all sorts of reasons you might want to do
this (capitalization changes, attribution to your real name, etc.). This is
probably a duplicate bug, but I don't see any part of the request that's
invalid.

The English Wikipedia's rules and policies are certainly distinct (and outside
Bugzilla's scope), but neither comment 0 or the bug summary indicate that it's
the English Wikipedia's practices that are trying to be adjusted via Bugzilla.
Re-opening.
