On my project site at http://sourceforge.net/p/feistymeow/wiki/Home/ I have used the `[[project_admins]]

wiki code, and this has produced https://sourceforge.net/u/fred-t-hamster/ as the project admin. However, that is a 404 dead link. I do have a user page of some sort at https://sourceforge.net/users/fred_t_hamster, but am missing that other version. I'm not sure why the underscores have been turned into dashes either.
It seems like possibly my newer style user page has become unlinked from my account somehow? Unless I need to create a user page by some other means than what I already have?
Given that the broken link is being automatically generated by sourceforge, it does seem like a bug or a confused database record or something like that.

I know we don't support underscores for new users, but there are a lot of older usernames that have underscores that perhaps we want to do something for?

    Is it possible we can fix this problem by moving my fred_t_hamster account over to a fred-t-hamster account?
    I have already created the latter account, but I'd like the older fred_t_hamster account's creation date and other stuff migrated to the new account, so I don't lose any "community prestige".
    Also, the fred-t-hamster account could receive project ownership for all my projects (hoople.org, hoople2, yeticode, and feisty meow).
    Does this seem like a workable way around this problem?

    This is fixed for new users in [#4580], but needs a migration script written to fix existing users.

    Fixed in forge classic js/3850. To test:

    • In mongo, change some usernames to have bad chars like "_", ".", or "@" in them and note the sfx userid of those users
    • Run the script: allurapaste script /var/local/config/production.ini /var/local/forge-classic/scripts/fix-bad-char-user-projects.py

    • Check that for those users a project like /u/userid-1013/ now exists

    This failed due to the random mongo id collision error there's another ticket for. In the meantime, I filed a siteops ticket to delete the partially created project it failed on and do a re-run. https://trac.geek.net/trac/siteops/ticket/51722

    Script completed.

    For original support ticket, the link to his user-project now goes to http://sourceforge.net/u/userid-327677 which works correctly.
