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

[edit] Install

1. Download the *.php, equivset.ser and the patch-antispoof.sql from SVN (if you're using command-line based SVN, do svn co http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/AntiSpoof in the extensions directory
2. Upload the files to the extensions directory.
   
3. Add
   require_once("$IP/extensions/AntiSpoof/AntiSpoof.php");
   to LocalSettings.php
4. Import patch-antispoof.sql into database. (Keep TYPE=InnoDB because 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] 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;
