Reported that the email sent to accounts with a terminating exclamation mark insufficiently identifies mark in the account name in an email. Account: Hope&Act3! Received email: I'm sorry to inform you that since you did not include the ! at the end of my user name I alighted on the page of an unregistered account, indeed i managed to log in on my own and thus retrieved the intended messages - thanks any way, hope you can fix that -- This e-mail was sent by Hope&Act3! to Billinghurst by the "E-mail user" function at Wikisource.
This sounds like his e-mail client failed to understand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hope&Act3! properly. Are we wrapping the URL in < > ?
No we are not wrapping urls with < > on enWS. Of course it may be that the user is misreporting components and it is the ampersand that is problematic. All I have is the word of the user. -- ab
Hi, I tried to reproduce the error on http://test2.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?. I created the ID anukoppad2! on the website and logged into wikipedia as well as wikisource. The login was successful. I logged out, closed the browser, opened up a new firefox browser, and tried logging in again. Successful, no errors. Third time, I logged out, closed the browsers, opened them again, and tried to login with anukoppad2. It gave me an error, Login error There is no user by the name "Anukoppad2". Usernames are case sensitive. Check your spelling, or create a new account.
Anu: Unrelated. This is about the integrated email functionality, not about logging in.
