Bug Description
If a Launchpad user has a plus (+) character in their 'Name' field then the user is prevented from logging into an OpenID enabled MoinMoin wiki.
The 'Name' field is used as the wiki name for the OpenID enabled MoinMoin wikis. Unfortunately MoinMoin cannot allow the plus character in the wiki name as this is a reserved character which is used for ACLs.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Ensure you can login to an OpenID enabled wiki (https:/
2. Login to Launchpad (or create a new user) and change your 'Name' field to include a plus (+) character.
3. Try login to the same OpenID enabled wiki.
4. See the (ungraceful) failure message.
