Bug #: 33661
Summary: Provide extension for easy usergroup gatekeeping by
email
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: [other]
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Extension request:
The extension provides a Special page which can be used
for users to request access to a privileged user group.
It can only be used by emailconfirmed users
(a nice message instead of 'permission denied' if it is not,
would be preferable but not required)
The user submits a form there to be "upgraded" (there could be
an optional message), the extension stores a token to this
request in memcached and fires an email -including the username
and its email- to the gatekeeper, which manually checks the
user email is in a secret approved list and if so, can follow a
link provided in the email, and the user is automatically added
to the cabal group.
It would be nice if the user received an email on approval, too.
Although I only need that for a single group, it would be nice if
it was flexible enough to provide several groups (ie. you wouldn't
need to copy the extension and modify it if you wanted one group
for 'staff' and another for 'contractors').
