[edit] How do you use it?

I guess the point is to prevent someone from creating a user account name that looks similar to an existing one by mapping similar looking characters. Sounds good. But where are the installation instructions? How do you use this? Where are the files to download? Do I just copy and paste the text somewhere? As-is, this seems totally unusable, yet it's installed on several of the WMF sites, so it seems like a good thing to have. Somebody who understands this thing should add at least some rudimentary docs. Thanks! --Willscrlt 03:34, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

It looks to me like you haven't followed the installation instructions. Have you run update.php, or, the SQL query listed on the page? SQLQuery me! 09:00, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
