AntiSpoof is an extension for preventing confusable usernames from being created.

[edit] Install

1. Download the latest snapshot
2. Upload the files to the extensions directory.
   
3. Add
   require_once("$IP/extensions/AntiSpoof/AntiSpoof.php");
   to LocalSettings.php
4. Run php maintenance/update.php from the command line (see also here)

   Alternatively, import patch-antispoof.sql into the database. (Keep TYPE=InnoDB because the key is more than MySQL can handle)

Note: equivset.ser is set to null
Username "Exampla" will be created and regardless if username "Example" is in the database. However, Login error: "??=?" (special characters ) is not allowed to prevent confusing or spoofed usernames: Contains unassigned or deprecated character. Please choose another name.

[edit] Prerequisite

This extension requires the presence of Extension:ImageMap

[edit] Alternative MySQL table

You could dump this table in and at your own risk!

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `spoofuser`;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `spoofuser` (
`su_name` varchar(164) NOT NULL default '',
`su_normalized` varchar(164) default NULL,
`su_legal` tinyint(1) default NULL,
`su_error` text,
PRIMARY KEY  (`su_name`),
KEY `su_normalized` (`su_normalized`,`su_name`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin;
