Bug #: 30226
Summary: Account creation project: text for new user page is
not submitted by wizard
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: [other]
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
I created a new test account on en.wikipedia.org [[User:Stink New User]] and
was given the opportunity to type in some text to be added to my user page.
Surprisingly, when I submitted the form, I was taken to an edit preview on the
user page.... with the original sample text instead of the text I wrote!
creation action URL including campaign ID:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&action=submitlogin&type=signup&returnto=Main_Page&campaign=ACP1
Text I wrote, replacing the default sample text:
------
Hi, I'm a fake test account created by [[User:Brion VIBBER]]. Occasionally I
will log in on this and perform actions for testing purposes, with no
administrative priveleges, a small edit count, etc.
My work should generally be either harmless or legitimate edits, so please
treat me as if I were any other newbie. Thanks! --[[User:Brion VIBBER||brion]]

Text visible in the edit box:
------
<!-- BELOW IS THE TEXT ABOUT YOU. YOU CAN CHANGE IT COMPLETELY OR IN PARTS AND
THEN COME BACK TO IT. AFTER YOU ARE DONE, SCROLL DOWN A BIT FURTHER AND CLICK
"SAVE PAGE".-->{{New user bar}}
Replace this example text below with information about you:
Hello, my background is in biology, with a main interest in snakes.
I speak English and French. In my off-time, I listen to a lot of music, and I
have discovered that Wikipedia is a very good source for information in that
department. Hopefully I can help make it even better.
<!-- NOW, CLICK THE "SAVE PAGE" BUTTON. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE JUST MADE YOUR
FIRST EDIT TO WIKIPEDIA. -->
-----
Pasting the text manually into the edit box of course resolves this. ;)
