If there's a community consensus to change this, we can > revisit it. Re-opening this for now. Auto-creations should logged, as nearly any action to a wiki should be logged. According to the linked discussion, there were two reasons for not logging accounts of auto-created users: [quote] It was a response to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23126 . Stewards complained that locked accounts can continue to autocreate on other wikis. I decided to turn off autocreation logging because it: 1) allows vandals to flood local logs with "X plays with blocks" nonsense, 2) is useless (I did not find the use case). [/quote] If the accounts are _globally locked_, it's perfectly reasonable to restrict them from being able to create accounts on other wikis. This bug is about regular, non-locked accounts not being logged. This is broken behavior. If an account is created on a wiki, it should go into [[Special:Log/newusers]]. If an account is globally locked, it should not be auto-created on other wikis (and thus it should not go into [[Special:Log/newusers]] as there would be nothing to log). Perhaps I'm missing something obvious and this can be re-resolved with further explanation, but as I see this currently, the behavior makes absolutely no sense. The current behavior is that _any_ auto-created accounts are not logged and this is wrong. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
