BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=917040&group_id=34373&atid=411192

On the English Wikipedia in 2001, there was a user
"Ryan_Lackey" whose user name contained an underscore.
You can see edits credited to this user at, for
example, [[Talk:Sealand]]. But these edits are not
recorded at
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=Ryan_Lackey],
which, after all, ''should'' be for a user named "Ryan
Lackey" (who doesn't exist). Similarly,
[[User:Ryan_Lackey]] doesn't think that it's a user
page for an actual user.
This specific case can probably be fixed if a developer
performs a username change (from "Ryan_Lackey" to "Ryan
Lackey") -- assuming that the name changing feature
doesn't break down too! ^_^ But the larger bug probably
applies to other editors from Phase I.
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
