Wiki account problem

Hi.

I signed up for a community account, and logging in with user "jon_jensen" 
at http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/community/profile works fine.

However, when I try to log into wiki.postgresql.org, it says user 
"Jon_jensen" doesn't exist. Is the wiki trying to capitalize the first 
letter of my username and thus failing?

Can you help me with this so I can edit the wiki?

Thanks,
Jon

almost - the problem is the mediawiki has a very weird idea of how 
usernames should look like.
What it is actually doing is converting the "_" to a space internally 
and handing that over to our custom auth plugin which causes 
athentication to fail...

well the only short term solution is using an account name that does not 
contain an underscore :(

Ok, that's fine. I can't sign up for another account with the same email 
address; could you change my username to jonjensen instead?

Thanks,
