Hello, I was under the impression that the Real Name field would be displayed instead of the Username. "* Real name (optional): if you choose to provide it this will be used for giving you attribution for your work." When I look at the Recent changes page, everything is attributed to Username, not Real Name. In fact, I have not been able to find any place where Real Name is used instead of Username. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you, E

Have you tried emailing? I hunted around and couldn't find much, but whatever is in your real name field *might* appear in the email header, instead of your username. Try that. If it doesn't work, I'd suggest asking on mediawiki-l, which is for these type of questions.
