Bug #: 34705
Summary: CentralAuth local account created without email
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: CentralAuth
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: has...@free.fr
CC: agarr...@wikimedia.org, vasi...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
axpde is a steward handling actions done on various wikis. He reported twice
(bug 34512 and bug 34381) that a newly created account was not reachable.
Sometime the local account had the user was not attached to the central
account. He had to manually request a new password and then merge the account.
In some cases the automatically created account did not even have an email
address. Rendering that user account useless.
Bug 34512 is a perfect example. Both accounts on ru.wikiversity.org and
kk.wiktionary.org are neither listed on
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MergeAccount nor on
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Axpde.
One possibility, is that during account creation no userinfo is returned form
the CentralAuth database. In such case, we should abort user creation. At least
make sure we do not create a user till we have some worthwhile informations.
