==Restrictions on user account names== {{collapse top}} Anti-spam suggestion: I would like to avoid having a dot in user names to avoid .com, .org, .net names. I am not sure if most of these accounts are created robots, if they are it may prevent them being created at all. I previously suggested banning the phrase "visit our website" although [[User:Pyrrhus]] thought it might be used elsewhere. I think if genuine it should be rephrased to say just "website" since links saying "click here", "visit" are bad practice. Possibly this could be explained in any error message so non-automated users know what to do. I believe these both would need developer changes. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 08:29, September 18, 2019 (EDT) :We considered this when creating [[MEpedia:Username policy]], but quickly realized that many people like to have dots in their user names. “john.smith”, for example. :[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 12:17, September 18, 2019 (EDT) ::Text above copied to Username policy [[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 17:15, September 18, 2019 (EDT) {{collapse bottom}}
