[MediaWiki-l] Re: Create an account for another user

Hi Everyone, We disabled account creation due to too much spam and bots. I am trying to manually create an account for a user. I read the docs at [1] and visited Special:CreateAccount. I then entered the user's details. I have not submitted because I'm getting a message: Your username will be adjusted to "XXXXXX" due to technical restrictions. I am not sure why I am getting that message. I am trying to create an account for another user. I am not trying to change my user name. I have all the wiki privileges and rights. They include bureaucrat and administrator. Does anyone know how to proceed? Thanks, Jeff [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Account_creation _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list -- mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe send an email to mediawiki-l-leave(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/mediawiki-l.lists.wikimedia.org/
