Patrolling edits today and saw that error. “By 45 seconds ago (:”>KittyKat(: As I was told in the IRC chat, the error seems to be with the ( in the name. When I hover over the name, User:KittyKat</div><divid= appears.
People have really got to stop including other characters in their names. It throws everything off

I’ll change her username and also look into preventing punctuation like this from being used in usernames. Thanks!
Another example of this is this user: http://www.wikihow.com/User:Samantha-(SwaggerJagger_CherLloyd)

Thanks! I have changed both of those usernames. @Tiagoroth
@Readingirl
If you spot any more of these, just leave me a note on my talk page about them, and I will change them on a case by case basis. The request for preventing punctuation in usernames has been appended to an existing bug report, so it will be taken care of eventually
