Brief description
The UMS that we use to process new users doesn't interface well with the mediawiki DB backend.
Detailed description
- New feature requests
- The user count given by
{{NUMBEROFUSERS}}is not up to date. - Track who approved which account (optional)
- Centralized archival of all request approvals and denials along with discussion
- Advanced user account management (delete user while reassigning edits (merge accounts), etc - see Ilya's UMS page for other useful queries)
- Dynamic check of whether the username is already taken, also whether the email provided has been registered (which indicates a duplicate account)
- An easy way for admins to check if a first/last name has already been registered
- Users must confirm a valid email BEFORE admins see the request, otherwise we have many people who are approved but their approval emails bounce.
- Allow editing/reformatting of a person's name within the user management queue. (In capitalization is wrong or something.)
- check boxes for signing up for 'oww-discuss' mailing list.
Tasks
- Change the user management system backend to use MediaWiki hooks rather than direct access of the database.
- Change workflow so that upon account request, the applicant receives an email in which they confirm their account request (to confirm a valid email address), and then they show up in the queue.
- Log
