Bug ID: 51469
Summary: Not serving MediaWiki:Welcomecreation-msg means user
can't get email confirmation messages on-wiki
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: User login and signup
Assignee: [email protected]

With SUL2,[1] we will no longer be serving the signup success page described by
welcomecreation-msg. Good riddance!
However, this means that other than the email with the confirmation link, we
are not informing users that they need to confirm their email address, or if
the email send failed. The messages we are throwing out are
MediaWiki:Confirmemail_oncreate and MediaWiki:Confirmemail_sendfailed.
Email confirmation is such a common workflow that we may be fine with having no
extra on-site reminder to do so. Personally I think this is okay, but I want to
open this and make sure we get a decision on the record.
If we do think an extra reminder is merited, the most elegant way of doing is
probably to implement a reminder email after the user fails to confirm their
address in a week.
