Hello, Last month I was in Qatar and introduced some people to Wikipedia.
While
they were creating their accounts, some of them had their initial suggested username taken, so they had to repeat it a couple of times until they finally found an available username. One of them had
repeated
it around 3 or 4 times until he had gotten frustrated. Which is why
I'm
asking if it's possible to add search type-ahead suggestions for available accounts. //Abbas.
We have a page to do that at Special:ListUsers
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Special:ListUsers
or
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers

Special:ListUsers =/= list of all users with SUL

What does Special:ListUsers =/= list of all users with SUL mean?
I thought the problem was to find account names that are not being used. If you search for a name you think you might want to use it returns a list of existing accounts.
What is "SUL"?
I know I'm supposed to understand Wikipedia acronyms, but I almost never do, unless I use them regularly myself, but I try to never use them, so never get practiced up.
