Very short usernames

Hi, Guido, on nl.wikisage.org you added

  • .{1,2}

but as far as I know PHP regexps that regexp will block all usernames containing 1 or 2 characters (and most usernames will contain at least one character). As an uninformed guess I would try

  • ^.{,2}$

The '^' and '$' are placeholders for the start and end of the username (in general of the text to be matched). Erik Warmelink 02:59, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I know the first blocks everything. :)
I'll test your suggestion, thanks. Guido den Broeder 12:08, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
