Hoi,
When the English Wikipedia insists on discriminating against people who have
a user in a script other than the Latin script... The argument that such a
name might be potentially obscene is one that does not assume good faith.
You (and I) are not even able to recognise all the potential obscene names
in the Latin script as there are so many languages you (and I) do not know.
Many of these words that are perfectly fine in one language and are not in
another.
If at all it is the home project of a user that can determine if a user name
is insulting.
Thanks,
GerardM

Is it blockable as soon as it is used on a wiki, or as soon as it's

(mostly) - would this make that impossible, and make it so we have to wait
until it edits (at which point, the potentially obscene name is
permanently
in the edit history).
My main question is, what is the definition of "blockable". Is that as
soon
as it is globally registered, or as soon as they edit on a particular wiki
they can be blocked on it?

If the extension isn't changed from its current state, then it will
continue to report (explicit) account creations for the local wiki.
Perhaps the better question is, "how should the log work"?

Well, it ''should'' show the account as soon as it's blockable, and
not
before, otherwise you could register "RobChurchSucks" on some obscure
wiki
and we'd see it, be unable to block it, and
forget about it.
I'm assuming that autoconfirmation is also on a per-wiki basis?
