a number of our users have used their email address as username in p2k16. This is a privacy issue, as your p2k16 username gets exposed several places (example: "Recent events" log in p2k16, contributions logs in the wiki). Due to a bug in the p2k16 / wiki interface users with an email address as the username can't login to the wiki - another issue, but bad as it prevents those user from contributing to the wiki.

Proposal: add feature to p2k16 that allows a user to (or an admin) to change the username of a user in p2k16.

If the proposal fails to be implemented, we should
a) prevent user from using an email address as a username when registering in p2k16
b) manually go through the p2k16 database, make a list of "email as username" users, and manually change the username in cooperation with each user.

Some data: currently 1698 users are registered in p2k16. Of these, 320 have an email address as username (technical: they have the character '@' somewhere in their username). So that is about 18.8 % of the users in p2k16. No attempt has been made to figure out if these are active users.

Perhaps we should start by removing that link?

Dette er fortsatt en aktuell problemstilling: hvis vi gir brukere mulighet til å endre brukernavnet sitt (fra "epost-adresse som brukernavn") så kan Bitraffere som er interessert i å bidra på wikien endre brukernavnet sitt, logge inn på wikien og bidra.
