Bug in Wikimedia Commons "Edit Count" option at Special:Contributions
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Anyone with space(s) between their username would likely to face this issue. My username is "Pratyya Ghosh". Whenever I try to use that button to find my edit counts it takes me to XTools stating The requested user does not exist. I checked with several users. Usernames without any space work fine. But the problem stars when there is space in username. However, I haven't tried usernames with punctuation(s).
