Description Melancholie 2008-10-29 21:34:33 UTC 
[[bar:MediaWiki:Titleblacklist]] blocks a user page from editing, despite the RegExp actually does not match:

http://bar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:WikimediaNotifier&action=edit&uselang=en
Message:
You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
The title "Benutzer:WikimediaNotifier" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: .*[A-Z ]{5,}.*

But there are *not* any 5 uppercase/whitespace character in a row in this name...
Comment 1 Melancholie 2008-10-29 22:19:56 UTC 
That change: http://bar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Titleblacklist&curid=9620&diff=68506&oldid=68472 fixed it, but why do those RegExps seem to be case-*in*-sensitive by default (the other way round than usual), *without* any notice/indication?
