I think this is already the case. If it's not, it's a bug.

However, I would welcome a HOWTO on mediawiki.org about how to configure the email server to set aliases that would launch php maintenance/changeUser.php --you-are-no-longer-autoconfirmed (which we would add, but would be a couple of lines anyway) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
