Description bluegoblin 2009-07-11 09:41:14 UTC
I believe that the AntiSpoof filters at the Simple English Wikipedia are not working.

A user was just able to create the account "BIuegoblin7", a play on my username Bluegoblin7. This shouldn't have been possible, and it was not until I came online that people on the wiki realised that this was not me.

More help appreciated :)

Regards,

BG7

I'm not sure what happened on that wiki, but I modified the test case AntiSpoof/SpoofTest.php and it considers "BIuegoblin7" and "Bluegoblin7" the same. It has normalized 'l and 'I' to '1' since 2006.
