Your "login" line should say "email address" because that's all that works.
I gave a name when I signed up, but you don't allow it for login.
The message is a usless wrong statement that I have done something wrong, so I signed up three times before I realized you might want the email instead of the username.
If you don't use the username, why create it?
Are you that ignorant of how usernames work?
Comment 1 Rob Church 2007-08-12 20:01:42 UTC
Your tone is not acceptable.

Please explain the problem better; where is it occurring, with what username, on what wiki? What is the exact text of any error messages you are receiving? Detailed steps to reproduce this?
Comment 2 Danny B. 2007-08-13 03:54:07 UTC
I suppose the Bugzilla is what's going on - the login form says "login" but requires the full e-mail address.

But that's just an estimation...

I too got a bit confused on bugzilla about this - I believe this is what the user is talking about. It is possible on another wiki they have configured it to use email addresses for names - if so, this is unrelated to the mediawiki software.

Please see the bug 6849 to see why such usernames with sertain characters are blocked.
Comment 5 Brion Vibber 2007-08-13 17:54:06 UTC
This is a regression of bug 2146 when templates got redone for the bugzilla 3.0 upgrade. Needs to be fixed in the new templates.
Comment 6 Brion Vibber 2008-05-21 18:48:32 UTC
Finally got round to updating the templates. :P

account/auth/login.html.tmpl
account/auth/login-small.html.tmpl
