Thread:Project:Support desk/Username as emailadress

Hello,

we use the mediawiki version 1.14 on a linux machine. The username need to be a emailadress. The reason is the better handling for our users. And too we use it as a internal knowledge DB. (So no Internet) I made the change directly in the DB and it works.

Only three Points i don't like:

1.) New users can't create as a emailadress. I need to change it later directly in the DB.

2.) The Username need to start always with a big letter. It is not nice as a emailadress.

3.) Userrights can't be administrate in the wiki. So i can't give a user more rights now. Maybe dircetly in the DB? I haven't check this out.

Did a upgrade to a newer release help? Or is there a changed planed for the future?

Thanks you very much in Advance.

Best regards,

Daniel
