Bug #: 42045
Summary: Option to hide user creation entries in the
RecentChanges page
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Recent changes
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Some projects get their wiki spammed by some bots doing automatic user
creation, e.g.
http://wiki.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&from=20121030130132
but there were concerns that measures to restrict user creation would hinder
cooperation (http://markmail.org/message/cgxqgprnyghrhmqn).
If it was possible to hide the signups in the RecentChanges page then all would
be fine if the many fake signups do not result in scalability problems. Adding
a parameter like "hideusercreation" to the others mentioned in
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Recent_changes would help to do that.
