Description Svick 2012-04-11 21:59:09 UTC
If I list the last 30 users on enwiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allusers&audir=descending&aulimit=30

it works fine. But if I limit it to just 12:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allusers&audir=descending&aulimit=12

I get this error:

<error code="auinvalidtitle" info="Bad title "�Zipfiddle""/>

The first character in that username is U+FFFD, "replacement character". If everything worked correctly, this username should have been in the query-continue tag. It seems that's where the problem is, because showing the same username in the list works correctly.
Comment 1 Sam Reed (reedy) 2012-04-11 22:28:37 UTC
All the users showing with the bad character are quite low user ids.

I wonder if they were created before the character blacklist came in, meaning they were valid then, but not now.
