The username was not found on drupal.org.

For some of the existing users, it is showing The username was not found on drupal.org.
Example: https://www.drupal.org/u/anjali-rathod

Hello @gauravaxl,
I think probably not an issue from contrib application.

We are not able to get result from API calls i.e. https://www.drupal.org/api-d7/user.json?name=anjali-rathod

Drupal API for user info works well while using the below URL
https://www.drupal.org/api-d7/user.json?name=Anjali%20Rathod

name=Anjali Rathod

Suggestion:
We can add note message that user with hyphen username should use first case with hyphen replaced by spaces.
OR
In code itself check for such cases and return user with suggestion to use such pattern.

Thanks, @rishabjasrotia. I can't find where we (@gauravaxl, @axelabhay, and myself) discussed this--maybe over Slack. Anyway, there is formal discussion here: https://www.drupal.org/project/do_username/issues/3394442.

Can you reflect on the comments there and share your thoughts there?

I'll leave this issue open until the "fix" is available in that module and merged here.

Hi, I was able to go past this error by adding my Drupal.org username (Soham Sengupta), however the link in the profile view page is formatted incorrectly and takes the user to a wrong page.
The wrong formatted link - https://www.drupal.org/u/Soham%20Sengupta
The actual Drupal profile link - https://www.drupal.org/u/soham-sengupta

Thanks, @SohamAxel! This is a slightly different issue (but related). Can you create a new issue in the issue queue? Here's the link: https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/do_username?categories=All.

[SohamAxel]

Yes, I have created the issue for the module. Thank you.
