That did it; it needed underscores instead of spaces.
The spaces occur in my Wikipedia username.

Thanks for your debugging efforts on our new platform! I was looking at some of the other usernames to see how they are formatted, could you try using underscores instead of spaces, i.e.  Mary_Mark_Ockerbloom ?

In general, it would be good to use something as close to your Wikimedia username as possible, because we want to be able to link the accounts as a later stage of the software development.

Thanks,
Richard

I'd like to invite all WREN participants to the new 'Wikimedia Chat' platform that premiered during the Wiknic on Sunday.

Here is a shortcut that will give you the token to create an account -

Note that this platform is still in beta, but we already have a #WREN channel, and hopefully its use can grow in future :)

Thanks,
Richard
