Consider removing mediawikiwiki from wgCentralAuthAutoCreateWikis
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

In https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/operations/mediawiki-config/+/220970 wgCentralAuthAutoCreateWikis was initially populated with 'loginwiki', 'metawiki', and 'mediawikiwiki'.

So I think 'mediawikiwiki' is no longer needed and can be removed from auto account creation wiki list.

If consensus is needed we should wait for that otherwise I'd be willing to take this on

This sounds sane. No consensus needed.

It seems that you consider that a local account on 'metawiki' is autocreated, when a global account is created.
But some people have no account on 'metawiki', for instance Hubert0482 and RalfU690717.

Yeah, bugs happen and might break local account autocreation temporarily. Also different wikis have different blacklists / abuse filters and those can block local account autocreation as well.

OK, thank you. I am just saying that it is not difficult to find other global accounts without account on 'metawiki': Bill Dance 22, Diane Sims Black, IanDBeacon 3, Larissa Cordova... Perhaps another Phabricator task should be created to investigate the bugs / blacklists / abuse filters, that are preventing these local account autocreations on 'metawiki'.
(And there are also old global accounts with recent activity but without account on 'mediawikiwiki + metawiki': Fear3235, James265, Saphomicron.)
