Hello all,
In an effort to combat vandals, is there a way to limit new user names to alphanumeric characters only?
Thanks,

You could use the Username Blacklist extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Username_Blacklist) with an appropriate regular expression; something like
[^a-zA-Z0-9]+
ought to do it.
