The default message does not indicate that the username is reserved for a queued rename request. Please create this message with Cannot create account: The username is reserved for a queued rename request. Please pick another name.. — JJMC89 (T·C) 22:44, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
- Is this the only instance where a username rename will be queued? Nakon 23:50, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Nakon: I think this message only appears when trying to create an account with a username that is reserved for a user that has requested a rename via the Special:GlobalRenameRequest queue. This was created in gerrit:156488 (and moved during AuthManager implementation in gerrit:284499). I'm not aware of any other rename queues. Pinging Anomie for confirmation. — JJMC89 (T·C) 03:06, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- @JJMC89: Perhaps
Cannot create account: The username is already in use or reserved for a queued rename request. Please pick another name.? — xaosflux Talk 02:17, 10 July 2016 (UTC)- @Xaosflux: That would serve my purpose (allowing WP:ACC to know that the account can't be created due to a pending rename); however, MediaWiki:Userexists (local) and MediaWiki:Centralauth-account-exists (global) are for existing users, so I don't think the message is shown for existing users. — JJMC89 (T·C) 03:06, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
Done @JJMC89: I put in the "or" version - a brief review suggests this should appear for rename oeprations, and that the centralauth-account-exists should appear for create account operations - let me know if this is not OK for your requested change. — xaosflux Talk 14:05, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
