So, the admin wants to make it look like someone else wrote a text that in fact he didn't? Doesn't look a good idea :) On any sensible community the admin would be able to write the text with its account saying after signing / in the comment "On behalf of user X who asked me during lunch to write this." Instead of changing passwords, you could write the script to change attribution for the edit. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
