Todo[edit]
- It should be possible to search for the real names, probably during the title lookup
- Real names should be added to subpages, not only the user root page itself
- Should use ShowSearchHitTitle but its new and the extension must run on an old version - update later
- Should use a better strategy on doing user lookup
