      Special:RecentChanges shows IP address instead of username (MW import)

      With VaultWiki 4.0.17 PL1 and imported data from MediaWiki, the Special:RecentChanges area will display an IP address where the username doesn't match any existing Xenforo user account. A wiki page's revision history however shows a username. Please see the attached screenshot for more details.

      On a related issue, with MW's enforced Username capitalisation, have you considered performing a case-insensitive query for usernames and in cases where only the one account matches (and not two+, or none), attributing the imported revision to the lowercase username? In my case, a lot of the unmatched usernames are caused by the capitalised first letter from MW when forum usernames are all lowercase.

      Cheers

      Fixed the inconsistency between the History tab and Special:Recentchanges in the next release. The expected behavior is to show the IP address for guest users.

      Fixed an issue with capitalization while importing. The capitalized users were successfully finding matches between databases; however, the content was still being attributed to the source username rather than the target username.

      Thank you. The fix sounds much better than my tedious work-around involving a duplicated MW database and a bunch of UPDATE queries to that removed the leading username capital!

      For people who have already imported, in the future do you think there might be a way to manually associate the guest user names to forum accounts? It is probably something better reserved for the admin cp under wiki maintenance. For the XenForo version the 'destination' username could probably use the autocomplete suggestions like what appears at https://www.vaultwiki.org/xf/index.php?members/ under "Find Member" when you start typing.
