Summary: RenameUser should log out target user to prevent
unwanted recreation of old username
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Renameuser
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
It's fairly common that a user will request a rename usually based on a privacy
concern (they used their real name, etc.).
The rename will be performed but because of (I assume) cookies and SUL and
such, the account gets recreated automatically - this is usually undesirable.
Rename should perhaps force a userlogout - if possible - to avoid this
happening. Or perhaps someone has a more elegant solution.
