Description Andrew Dunbar 2008-03-07 05:51:50 UTC 
The DidYouMean extension normalizes page titles using case and visual similarity implemented in an ungainly series of preg_replace calls.

Tim Starling developed a custom replace routine to do a similar job detecting spoofed usernames. This code should be used to improve the preg_replace calls.

The AntiSpoof extension's methods were written by Neil Harris, not Tim. :)

Updating comment to clarify what's referred to.
