Summary: Confusing messages when resetting password and global
user does not exist locally
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: CentralAuth
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
If a global user exists globally but hasn't been created locally yet, if a user
tries to create a local account with that name they get the
centralauth-account-exists message.
However, if they mistakingly think they've created the account already as
given by the "already exists" message and try to recover, they get the
"nosuchuser" message, which is counter-intuitive to it already existing.
