The protected_titles table does not store the username for the user id.

The table ipblocks stored the username of the admin in ipb_by_text, why does
protected_titles does not store the username of the admin?

Need population script and Renameuser must update the new database field.

wontfix per bug 31863
Comment 2 db [inactive,noenotif] 2012-02-18 18:47:16 UTC
Reopen, because this field is needed to allow anon users/maintenance scripts protecting a title against recreate (Yah, a rare usecase, but why not?). The field should be set only, when the pr_user field is 0, because than that is an anon user.
