Description lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2006-03-11 12:45:27 UTC 
Hallo!

This bug relates to
Bug 1574: Account cannot be created with initial lower case letter

It seams that the database still contains accounts with initial lower case
letters in some of the WikimediaFoundation projects.

*request*
Accounts with initial lower case letters should be moved to same accounts with
initial upper case letters. If such accounts exist already the contributions
should be *assigned* to these (with the approval of the target account).

This will make the sites more consistent:

a) [[wikt:fr:special:Listusers/sysop]] lists "moyogo (sysop)". 
b)
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~kate/cgi-bin/count_edits?dbname=frwiktionary_p&user=moyogo
shows the contributions of [[wikt:fr:user:Moyogo]] and not the contributions of
[[wikt:fr:user:moyogo]].

best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
Comment 1 Raimond Spekking 2007-04-02 07:53:52 UTC 
Renaming of initinal lowercase usernames is now possible.

Related to this bug:

During fixing bug 4939 (r20841) I found another bug. The oldusername was written
with NS0 into the logs (field 'log_namespace'), but it should by NS2 =
USER namespace. This I have corrected with above patch.

The problem is now, that older loglines still cointain NS0 for the
oldusername. This complicates log searching and is (now) inconsistent
with newer renames.

My question: Would it be possible to write a maintenance script or add
some lines to the updater script to update these loglines with NS0 -> NS2?

Or is this not a good idea because it's an extension only?

How is this different from bug 3507? Probably it should be marked as a dupe.
Comment 5 Mike.lifeguard 2009-06-27 22:33:23 UTC 
This is a specific case of bug 3507 - duped.
