Bug ID: 67175
Summary: Always create global account if it doesn't exist
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: CentralAuth

Currently, CentralAuth will not create a global account when a new account is
created, if there are existing local accounts with the same name on other
wikis. This is despite $wgCentralAuthAutoNew=true on the wiki.
Although the feature initially served a purpose, it seems to be causing more
issues now, due in part to how it's implemented and a bug in the rename user
extension.
I propose we just always create a global account.
