Hey,
Non-latin is perfectly acceptable on english wikipedia - I mean names like
"Jimbo Wales is a fucking faggot". These are likely to be insulting
anywhere, and I do not see how that can be good faith. There is also the
issue of impersonators and obvious socks (take molag bal who uses similair
names).
Also, if it is not obviously obscene, it should not be blocked, but
discussed, preferrably with the user. This is what is being recommended for
now on enwiki.

Hoi,
When the English Wikipedia insists on discriminating against people who
have
a user in a script other than the Latin script... The argument that such a
name might be potentially obscene is one that does not assume good faith.
You (and I) are not even able to recognise all the potential obscene names
in the Latin script as there are so many languages you (and I) do not know.
Many of these words that are perfectly fine in one language and are not in
another.
If at all it is the home project of a user that can determine if a user
name
is insulting.
Thanks,
GerardM

until it edits (at which point, the potentially

in the edit history).
My main question is, what is the definition of "blockable". Is that as
soon
as it is globally registered, or as soon as they edit on a particular
wiki
they can be blocked on it?

If the extension isn't changed from its current state, then it will
continue to report (explicit) account creations for the local wiki.
Perhaps the better question is, "how should the log work"?

Well, it ''should'' show the account as soon as it's blockable, and
not
before, otherwise you could register "RobChurchSucks" on some obscure
wiki
and we'd see it, be unable to block it, and
forget about it.
I'm assuming that autoconfirmation is also on a per-wiki basis?
