           Summary: Setting $wgLogAutocreatedAccounts to false makes
                    admin's jobs difficult
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: wikimedia-deployment
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: User login
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: m...@everybody.org
        Depends on: 19161


In order to address privacy concerns from auto-created accounts (Bug #19161),
$wgLogAutocreatedAccounts was created so that accounts which were auto-created
because of CentralAuth would not be logged.

This change makes it difficult for admins to patrol their wiki's for malicious
users since they can't see newly created accounts.

A way to handle the privacy concerns without impeding the admins' work should
be found.
