Suggest a username

When one clicks Special:CreateAccount, the first entry is Username, with only one helpful link help me choose. It’s a fair link to provide, but it is not particularly useful. There is challenge in finding an available and allowed username. “Username already in use” or “… is too similar to …” I think a tool that suggests a username is desirable. How could that get implemented? SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:42, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
