[10:02:19] Hi, I am PHT from Bhikitia (An open encyclopedia powered by mediawiki) [10:03:06] I need few support about Search Result of Bhikitia.org [22:35:56] why do I have the faint feeling that Wikipedia login is showing a wrong credentials message when something else happens? [23:16:59] That would be telling [23:17:47] But it's not an uncommon pattern with many applications. You don't give away more information than if you have to [23:18:01] Password reset? "We'll send you an email if you have an account" [23:25:08] I believe that's considered best practice these days. it's mildly hostile to the user, but stops the recovery page being used to validate that accounts exist [23:25:31] Of course, in case of MediaWiki, we post public user lists [23:25:43] including email addresses? [23:26:05] actually scratch that, this was for login, not recovery [23:31:42] for Special:PasswordReset it's important to not disclose which accounts also require an email address to have their password reset [23:32:38] for login you should only get wrong credentials if your username or password is wrong, other login failures should have their own errors most of the time
