Bug ID: 54899
Summary: Expose wpIgnoreAntiSpoof option on API properly
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: AntiSpoof
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Currently, there is a checkbox called wpIgnoreAntiSpoof on the user interface
which allows those with the override-antispoof right to turn off antispoof for
an account creation.
This checkbox is not exposed in the API directly, although it can still be used
by defining wpIgnoreAntiSpoof as one of the POST parameters to the API
createaccount call. Doing this generates an API warning stating the parameter
is unrecognised, but the request still succeeds where it would normally fail.
This does not feel like a reliable method of using this functionality, as it is
undocumented and likely accidental. This functionality should be exposed to the
API as a documented parameter.
