Created attachment 11144 [details] Error screenshot See the attached file. It looks like there is some error output which is broken. When you attempt to create a username that is too close to an existing username (e.g. one character different) the error shows the associated user and links to their contribs. The contributions link is currently broken.
'antispoof-conflict-top' => 'The name "$1" is too similar to {{PLURAL:$2|the existing account|the following $2 accounts}}:', $message = wfMessage( 'antispoof-conflict-top', $name )->numParams( $numConflicts )->escaped(); I'm guessing the message functions are called wrongly.. Siebrands fault from https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/22363/
Errr, I retract that, slightly. 'antispoof-conflict-item' => '$1', # do not translate or duplicate this message to other languages $message .= '<ul>'; foreach ( $conflicts as $simUser ) { $message .= '<li>' . wfMessage( 'antispoof-conflict-item', $simUser )->escaped() . '</li>'; } Mix of Siebrands change, and the enwiki customisation of said message https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Antispoof-conflict-item&action=edit $1 (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=$1">contribs</a>) 'antispoof-conflict-item' => '$1', # do not translate or duplicate this message to other languages Probably makes most sense to fix this message upstream, and change the code to support the desired output. Maybe.
$message .= '<li>' . wfMsg( 'antispoof-conflict-item ', $simUser ) . '</li>'; $message .= '<li>' . wfMessage( 'antispoof-conflict- item', $simUser )->escaped() . '</li>'; Technically, this isn't actually a bug... And should probably be swapped to a feature request to have the contribution links...

IMO, I don't think the contribution links provide clear value. The message just needs to tell the user that a similar name already exists, not tell them what the person has done.
