Description

Global rename script is a script that performs local renames on wikis where the account of the steward or the global renamer is not registered. However if you intend to look for logs for those account, you can't search for them despite being shown in the recent changes. I think we should be able to look for logs for that account. Example on howiki:

16:09, 7 August 2016 Global rename script (talk | block) renamed user Beccaviola (0 edits) to FlyingMeeces (per request)
https://ho.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/Global_rename_script --> "No matching items in log."

@MarcoAurelio https://ho.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=&user=Global+rename+script&page=&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&hide_thanks_log=1&hide_tag_log=1 works for me.

That's now weird. It should show the same info with the link I've provided
above.

If you use your link, and then click again at "submit" it is showing the entrys (and it switches the URLs then), so it's kind of internal bug.

It's not being properly normalized in the query conditions, I guess.
