This bug is systemic. We have connected our Mediawiki to the enterprise LDAP
through LdapAuthentication. At first connection from a user, the user is
automatically created in Mediawiki. Then, the first page to be edited after
this creation, whoever does the edition, and whatever the page, is credited to
the user who was just created.

Example from our wiki:

This is the summary of newly created users :

 Show only users with edits  Sort by creation date  Sort in descending order
(first | last) View (previous 50 | next 50) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500)

You see user Henri MAGNIN did the modification of page "KM - Knowledge
Management" at 15:09, just after being created at 15:06. In fact, I did the
modification.
