Having $wgAllowRealName = false; $wgMaxCredits = 1; Credits on page bottoms are given to RealName even in the case, that RealName is globally OFF. In such cases, credits should show _username(s)_ instead. Irrespective of field RealName being empty or not, it should follow the setting of $wgAllowRealName.
The problem is somewhere in Credits.php, where also some code cosmetics should take place. My observations - how to reproduce the problem: 0. have wgMaxCredits = 0 1. start with $wgAllowRealName = true and set a user name but no real name yet 2. set wgMaxCredits = 1 3. watch the attribution credits line how it changes from username to realname - when you enter a real name in user-prefs (=ok) 4. NOW set $wgAllowRealName = false 5. NOW watch the attribution credits line: it keeps on showing the _real_name_ regardless of any further changes of $wgAllowRealName. This isn't a cache problem. It looks, as if a bug is lurking in Credits.php. Please can someone explain, how the contribution line should look like if real name _and_ user name are available w.r.t. to the setting of $wgAllowRealName . I expect, that the username is shown, if $wgAllowRealName is false, btu the software works differently: it prefers to show real name, if this is present in the database. An explanation of the wanted behaviour and a correction (bug fix) is kindly requested.
Fixed in 1.5 and HEAD
(sigh) Please mark fixed bugs as such.
