The reason why you were getting the "User account "trlkly" is not registered. Please check if you want to create/edit this page." note is because the pages you were editing began with a lowercase letter, which is treated as a separate account by the software (and is not supported to begin with such). Your userspace and sig are located at [[User:Trlkly]] and [[User:Trlkly/sig]], with the capital T. So that's why that happened. I've moved them to their appropriate, capitalised locations.

License and Registration
The reason why you were getting the "User account "trlkly" is not registered. Please check if you want to create/edit this page." note is because the pages you were editing began with a lowercase letter, which is treated as a separate account by the software (and is not supported to begin with such). Your userspace and sig are located at User:Trlkly and User:Trlkly/sig, with the capital T. So that's why that happened. I've moved them to their appropriate, capitalised locations. Thanks for understanding. --DorianGray 08:25, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Well I think your gratitude is a bit premature, as I don't quite understand.
- trlkly isn't supposed to have a capital T. It's my name; I should be able to spell it the way I want. I didn't register it that way, and the software won't let me reregister under the proper name. There is no reason for it not to be supported, as every other wiki I've been on that uses MediaWiki lets me use the lowercase letter. So my complaint still stands.
- IOW, If the software won't let me register under the proper name, why can't I at least use the proper user page? (The)trlkly 08:43, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- The software probably automatically capitalised the T for you. --DorianGray 09:16, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
