Bug #: 37830
Summary: New configuration setting to control whether password
Confirmation is required for changing an
e-mail-address or not
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User preferences

Starting with MW 1.19.x possibly MW 1.18.x it is required to confirm the change
of an e-mail-address with a password. This is ok since it assumes that a person
logged in into an user account knows the password.
Reality has it that heaps of people create an account, put in the wrong
e-mail-address (typo, etc.) and forget about their password after logout. Up
till now I was able to sudo these people and help them. Now this is not longer
possible.
Thus it would be good to have a way to disable this requirement, something like
"$wgUserEmailChangeConfirmation" which defaults to "true"
