Invalid Users

When completed, Wikimetrics will list usernames it was unable to process. The reasons for invalid users may include:

• Incorrect spelling
• User deleted or changed their username
• Capitalization
• Spaces versus underscores
• Symbol was not recognized by Wikimetrics
• Trailing spaces after usernames are present
• Hidden formatting is present

If Wikimetrics finds invalid users, you can click the "## are invalid" to get a list of usernames that are not valid. Be sure to check your file for the above issues and try uploading again.

If you are having trouble with a particular cohort, send an email to the Wikimetrics listserve
