For example, the account "MardetanhA" was created, which is obviously very close to "Mardetanha" -- this is despite that the original account existed locally prior to the spoof being created (on mywiki): # MardetanhA (Created on 17 June 2009 at 22:07) # Mardetanha (Created on 2 June 2008 at 19:00) Ideally, AntiSpoof would check against the CentralAuth database in addition to the local user list, but in this case, even a local check would have been sufficient. That's bug 15545. Unless the extension is disabled or otherwise non-functional, it seems that the rules used to detect similarity are pretty bad (a case change should be utterly trivial, and more complex matching at a high quality is desperately needed). This may be related to bug 18447?
Can't reproduce. At least it's not /that/ weak. Login error The name "PlatonideS" is too similar to the existing account: * Platonides Please choose another name. -- Login error The name "MardetanhA" is too similar to the existing account: * Mardetanha (contribs) Please choose another name.
I am putting the status to Resolved and Worksforme as Platonides was unable to reproduce it. If the bugreporter feels that this is incorrect then please reopen the bug.
