Went to the URL, opened my JS console and did "mw.e3.acux.modifyPage()", put "@" into the username box and changed to the password box. "You have not specified a valid username." popped up. WFM.

You may need to log out and load that page as a first-time visitor.

Gerrit change 40077 merged by Ori.

It's a serviceable hack (thanks, Krenair, for the quick response), but I'd like to request the tags be removed from enwiki's custom message (MediaWiki:noname).

Might be better to just delete that page?

There's another change, but it's just the space in "user name "(https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllMessages&prefix=noname&filter=all&lang=en&limit=250).

If it is deleted, it will pick up future code changes, but I don't see it as a big deal either way currently.
