For example I do this:
/scoreboard objectives add o dummy
Added new objective 'o' successfully
/scoreboard players set a o 1
Set score of o for player a to 1
/scoreboard players set b o 1
Set score of o for player b to 1
/scoreboard players set c o 1
Set score of o for player c to 1
/scoreboard teams add *
Added new team 'b' successfully
Added new team 'c' successfully
Added new team 'a' successfully
Clearly it makes no sense to put the wildcard as a team name, but it will create teams with the names of all the players in the scoreboard successfully. It also works in other "/scoreboard ..." commands in places where it shouldn't but I haven't tested all of them to give a complete list.

Confirmed in 1.8.3. However, I don't believe this is a bug. Asterisks should always represent player names, that's what they are for. It's actually quite useful that they work the way they do.
Confirmed for
1.8.6 but like @unknown said, it is pretty useful and it seems like there are no downsites of this
Well, the downside is that you can't have the team name of "*". But that's really not enough of a downside to necessitate changing this. The asterisk argument is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing, it's not a bug.
Is this still an issue in the latest snapshot 16w44a? If so please update the affected versions.
This is an automated comment on any open or reopened issue with out-of-date affected versions.
