Change Details

The "Name" field ("alternate name"/"real name"/etc, as discussed in T798), is currently the only alternate way to refer to someone. So, if someone uses a different name onwiki and onIRC, it is impossible to discover who they are. E.g. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Chad/ is currently going by the username "Chad" and the alt-name "Chad Horohoe". He lists his IRC name as "^d" and his mediawiki-username as "^demon" but neither of those names successfully autocomplete if I type them into the Subscribers field. E.g.2. ditto for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Rdicerb/ and her IRC name "rdaiccherlb".
