Description Ash Crow 2013-05-24 11:58:36 UTC 
When I tried to use the username I registered in wikitech.wikimedia.org (Ash_Crow), it didn't work and I had to replace the underscore with a space to be able to login on Gerrit.
Comment 1 Ryan Lane 2013-05-24 12:37:34 UTC 
AFAIK MediaWiki doesn't support underscores in usernames. It converts them to spaces.
Comment 2 Chad H. 2013-05-24 14:52:45 UTC 
You can use either in MW, it should be transparent.

Reopening so I remember to look at this.
