Locally, I don’t get this error, and the reason seems to be that `RecentChangesFactory` detects that the user couldn’t be found, and asks the `ExternalUserNames` service to prefix it; `ExternalUserNames` then produces an `rc_user_text` string like `repowiki>User name`, and the `>` marks the name as not “usable”, so the `ActorStore` doesn’t complain. Apparently, sometimes (e.g. on @Michael’s local wiki), some part of this doesn’t happen, so that the `rc_user_text` is just the user name on the repo wiki, which is a “usable” name, and the `ActorStore` refuses to assign an actor ID to a name that’s usable but not registered (after all, such a user could register later!). > CannotCreateActorException: Cannot create an actor for a usable name that is not an existing user TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T293246 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE Cc: Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE, Aklapper, Michael, karapayneWMDE, Invadibot, maantietaja, Akuckartz, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, _jensen, rosalieper, Scott_WUaS, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Lydia_Pintscher, Addshore, Mbch331
