Description Andrew Bogott 2013-11-09 20:23:32 UTC 
When creating a new account on wikitech, users must specify a shell name.  Frequently users try to create accounts with Uppercase ShellNames which are rightfully rejected, but the failure message is completely confusing -- it says that you don't have rights to edit the database.
