The project is created but not accessable, because it's always mapped to the user profile or group. ### Steps to reproduce Create a project with any name and a dot as project slug. ### Example Project Not applicable. ### What is the current *bug* behavior? A project is created, but not accessable. The project is not deletable in the admin menu, only via the GitLab Api. ### What is the expected *correct* behavior? The "." should either an incorrect project slug or correctly mapped to the project. ### Scope This bug is at least present in the current `gitlab.com` instance and GitLab CE 11.5.4.
