You don't need MediaWiki to add the username as User_Name. You can have MediaWiki add it as User Name, or User-Name, etc. In your authentication plugin's getCanonicalName(), you can munge all underscores to dashes, or to spaces. You will still authenticate the users with underscores in the names.

MediaWiki does not support underscores in usernames.
