OpenWetWare:Username policy

From OpenWetWare
Jump to navigationJump to search

We are attempting to move all usernames to use a person's full real name. Usernames should be the same as the name you use to publish, e.g. "User:Foo Q. Bar, Jr."

Implementation plan

  • Special:Renameuser: move existing users
  • ensure uniqueness of OWW accounts and email addresses
  • allow login via email address
  • have all newly created users use the new username format
