@davidabian@github.com wrote on 14 Mar 2015:
When a user creates another user account, CVNBot reports twice that the first account was registered.

Real example of today (March, 14) on`#cvn-wp-es`:
20:49:09 <+CVNBot3> Usuario nuevo [[es:User:Fffgfdghfdgfdgf]] creado. Bloquear: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Blockip/Fffgfdghfdgfdgf
20:50:44 <+CVNBot3> Usuario nuevo [[es:User:Fffgfdghfdgfdgf]] creado. Bloquear: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Blockip/Fffgfdghfdgfdgf
While CVNBot3 should have reported:
20:49:09 <+CVNBot3> Usuario nuevo [[es:User:Fffgfdghfdgfdgf]] creado. Bloquear: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Blockip/Fffgfdghfdgfdgf
20:50:44 <+CVNBot3> Usuario nuevo [[es:User:Fffgfdghfdgfdg]] creado. Bloquear: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Blockip/Fffgfdghfdgfdg
(Note the final "f"; I know this is not the clearest example, but it is a real one, a vandalism.)

You can check these registrations on https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Registro/Fffgfdghfdgfdgf.

Thanks in advance.

User:A is registered already and creates an account for User:B. CVNBot will however display that User:A has been created.

Recent example: <CVNBot5> New user [[m:User:JGulingan (WMF)]] created. Block: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Blockip/JGulingan_%28WMF%29

Real log: (User creation log); 22:26 . . User account EYildrim (WMF) (talk | contribs | block) was created by JGulingan (WMF) (talk | contribs | block) and password was sent by email ‎(WMF Fellow)

Suggested output: New user $new_user was created by $creator. Block: $blocklink

Thank you.
