I think that’s just saying the account name you want will be changed to xxxx to meet the technical requirements

Hi Everyone,

We disabled account creation due to too much spam and bots. I am trying to manually create an account for a user. I read the docs at [1] and visited Special:CreateAccount. I then entered the user's details.

I have not submitted because I'm getting a message:

Your username will be adjusted to "XXXXXX"
due to technical restrictions.

I am not sure why I am getting that message. I am trying to create an account for another user. I am not trying to change my user name.

I have all the wiki privileges and rights. They include bureaucrat and administrator.

Does anyone know how to proceed?

Thanks,

Jeff
