Bug ID: 50984
Summary: send different confirmation email when creating an
account for someone else
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.22-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User login and signup
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
If you login to a wiki and create an account for someone else by supplying
their e-mail and a password, that new user is sent the same email
'confirmemail_body' (enwiki's version is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:confirmemail_body ) that they would
receive if they created their own account.
It might be worth sending a different 'confirm_createdbyanother' message in
this case; it could incorporate the user who created the account and the reason
they did so:
Hello $2,
Wiki user $8 created an account for you on wiki $9 (giving the reason
"$10").
To confirm your email address, please open this URL in your browser...
But the creator is still going to have to communicate with the new user to give
her the password. Also I suspect most people creating an account for someone
else use the check "Use a temporary random password and send it to the email
address specified below", which sends a different email message
createaccount-text
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:createaccount-text).
