Description Jasper Deng 2012-01-21 01:55:10 UTC 
It has been reported on Wikipedia that MediaWiki does not prevent the creation of users with usernames that could be potentially valid IPv6 addresses, and that MediaWiki treats 2001:db8 like 2001:db8::. Furthermore, MediaWiki does not effectively deal with usernames which already are potentially valid IPv6 addresses.
Comment 1 Aaron Schulz 2012-02-13 20:42:50 UTC 
I've tested 1.19 and can't seem to create IPv6 usernames.

Current IPv6 names must be migrated, which will be easier when bug 31863 is fixed.
Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2014-06-19 13:30:57 UTC 
I created a user named          8000:63bf:3fff:fdd2:
on mediawiki.org today so I guess this ticket is still valid.
Comment 3 Jasper Deng 2014-06-19 16:04:46 UTC 
That's not a valid IPv6 address, it's missing a colon at the end.
