@ Cabayi: Just looking for a quick second opinion... I noticed that "Andrex" is the former name of a vanished user. I don't know if we have any conventions about users being renamed to the former usernames of vanished users. What do you think? — k6ka 🍁 ( Talk · Contributions) 01:50, 3 January 2023 (UTC) reply

K6ka, I declined the previous request for this username. I was hoping someone else would give an opinion rather than me impose mine :-) In respect of the vanished account I think the situation is similar to a usurpation. The requested username has been vacated... Cabayi ( talk) 09:55, 3 January 2023 (UTC) reply

Comment: I think that as long as the person requesting the username is aware there may be some baggage attached to it, it should be fine. Once a username has been abandoned, unless it's someone who was indefinitely blocked, a spammer, or other abusive account, there shouldn't be any problem with someone else picking up the username as long as they remember it might come with baggage. ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:09, 3 January 2023 (UTC) reply

@ K6ka, @ Cabayi, @ Nihonjoe I don't think we should ever rename people to someone else's former username except in cases of usurpation. This is a security issue. Since users could have custom js pages and other people might be importing them and after the rename we just set redirect on those pages. So if rename someone else to such name, we are basically giving them access to those old js pages which can be used to excecute bad js on account importing those pages. This once has happened and we had discussion about it on Mailing List but I am not able to find the link to that discussion. I remember @ Ladsgroup was one who handled that particular security issue, so might point us to that. ‐‐ 1997kB ( talk) 12:35, 6 January 2023 (UTC) reply

Found it. I remember that was the reason that AntiSpoof was added on user's old usernames. ‐‐ 1997kB ( talk) 12:40, 6 January 2023 (UTC) reply

.js spoofing doesn't appear to be an issue here - Special:PrefixIndex/User:Andrex. Though the well-known product still argues against the change imo. Cabayi ( talk) 15:34, 6 January 2023 (UTC) reply

Based on the above additional information, I agree this isn't a good thing to allow. @ DeveloperWOW64: please select another target username, one that hasn't previously been used. Thanks for your patience! ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:51, 6 January 2023 (UTC) reply
