Extension:AntiSpoof

The AntiSpoof extension is an extension for preventing confusable usernames from being created. It blocks the creation of accounts with mixed-script, confusing and similar usernames.

For example, if user John Doe is already registered, the extension will block attempts to register: etc.
 * John Dоe ("о" in Dоe is Cyrillic small letter O),
 * Јohn Doe ("Ј" in Јohn is Cyrillic capital letter Je),
 * John Đoe ("Đ" in Đoe is Latin capital letter D with stroke),
 * Jóhn Doe ("ó" in Jóhn is Latin small letter O with acute),
 * John &#8203;Doe (there is Zero-width space before Doe),
 * Jøhn Doe ("ø" in Jøhn is Scandinavian oe),
