In the NavBox I am noticing that when I am trying to get the contribs of users the ''User contributions'' tab does not consistently work. [[User_talk:Maxderungs| From this page]] I am unble to click ''User contributions'' in the NavBox; yet I know that the user has made [http://www.aboutus.org/Special:Contributions/maxderungs edits]. I think the problem is related to case space issues user name is lower case and the user page name is upper case. See: [[User:Susanandshawn]] and [http://www.aboutus.org/Special:Contributions/susanandshawn the page of contribs].

This has been mostly resolved. Outstanding issues:

  • There are still around 200 users who map to the same casespace name. compost/script/rename_user_duplicates.rb has renamed several thousand of them, but for some reason there are still 200 that can't be renamed.
  • For many lowercase users, the User: and User_talk: pages were created with uppercase names. This is confusing when you click on contributions or block.
  • There are still users who have leading or trailing whitespace ... need to rename their accounts ... e.g., yulan_
  • Many User: and User_talk: pages haven't been created ... ensure that every user has one
