Bug ID: 58932
Summary: Get rid of $wgEnableNewpagesUserFilter
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Patrolling

This config variables dates back to r34065 from April 2008. Quoth Brion:
/**
* Enable user search in Special:Newpages
* This is really a temporary hack around an index install bug on some
Wikipedias.
* Kill it once fixed.
*/
$wgEnableNewpagesUserFilter is still set to false on some wikis:
'wgEnableNewpagesUserFilter' => array(
'default' => true,
'frwiki' => false,
'nlwiki' => false,
'svwiki' => false,
),
I can't find any bug report or other reason why this config variable even
exists, or why it is set to false on these three wikis.
I think it is time to get rid of this.
