In our wiki, we wanted to use this extension to reduce spam and spammy accounts, but we also wanted to spread the approval load across a number of people. I thought it would be a good idea to send email notifications of new account requests to everyone who had the authority to approve them. This patch implements that - any user in the bureaucrat group, with an email address, gets an email indicating when someone's in the moderation queue. Do you think this could be included? Thanks! Dave.
Created attachment 11108 [details] Patch to email all bureaucrats when wgConfirmAccountContact is non-empty (should be a "true"/"false" setting, perhaps)
Thank you for your code submission. I think this is a good idea, especially for small wikis. Please consider to add a setting for this like wgConfirmAccountMailBureaucrats, with a default value set at false. * * * As indicated on IRC, you can request a MediaWiki developer access at the following URL to be able to push your change directly in our review system: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_access * * * Help for Git/gerrit configuration and use could be found at the following URL: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Workflow * * * [ Bug confirmed and assigned to code submitter. +patch-need-review.
