Screenshot of described error.

While working at ACC on the English Wikipedia, I came across an expected error. While the error was fine, the message itself needs to be fixed as the link is shown improperly. I have attached a screenshot and the text of said error is pasted here:

The requested username is already taken in the <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login">unified login system</a>. Please choose a different name.

How did you get that error message? Did you try to create an account with a username that already exists? I tried to go to the English Wikipedia account creation page (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup) and replicate the error, but it's not the same.

Please post the address of the page where you got this error, and steps to reproduce it. It would help a lot, thanks.

I'll ask to delete [[MediaWiki:Centralauth-account-exists]].
