--- Comment #24 from MZMcBride <b...@mzmcbride.com> --- I'm lost. Why was this being implemented with a URL query string and such? I thought the whole idea here was to fix up/improve MediaWiki's core account creation logic, not duplicate it. I haven't been following most of this closely, but I skimmed <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/30637> and it seems like the entire approach here was wrong. If it's experimental, leave it in an extension. If it's going into core, put it into core. The query string/configurability really doesn't make any sense to me. If you're going to go in that route, why wouldn't Agora be a skin? And... I thought includes/templates/ was completely deprecated. I thought the only part of the UI that used it was Special:UserLogin and Special:UserLogin?type=signup and they only did so for historical reasons. I could swear there was a bug about killing off these remaining templates (and just leaving NoLocalSettings.php, I guess...). I can't find the bug off-hand, but adding templates like this seems like the wrong approach overall. Make Agora a MediaWiki skin and/or improve the core account creation interface. If you want to put something behind configuration, just leave it in a MediaWiki extension.
