Summary: API to create user (disabled by default)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: API
AssignedTo: roan.katt...@home.nl
ReportedBy: michael.d...@kayakwiki.org
CC: bryan.tongm...@gmail.com, vasi...@gmail.com
In order to help those creating a new wiki with a requirement to preload the
login IDs for an existing user set (e.g. within a company so they don't need
wiki IDs different than those on existing systems), please provide an API for
creating users.
This API should be disabled by default. One should have to explicitly enable
this to ensure that they have some notion what they are doing.
A whitelist (mandatory?) should be provided so that IPs (or domain names?) can
be specified as the only ones that can execute the API call. That allows the
wiki admin to run the API without enabling it for the world (of spammers).
This would be easier for many admins than trying to sort through the various
function calls and table updates that may be needed to create a user via a PHP
script.
