[IMPROVEMENT] Add a Special:OpenIDAdminAccountCreation page to allow account creation by admins when the wiki allows account creation for others only through OpenID
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I have a situation where accounts should be createable by admins with passwords (for bots and such), but should only allow creation of accounts via openid otherwise. It would be nice to configure mediawiki to only allow sysops to create accounts, but still allow OpenID to create accounts.

Bug 46617: Allow account creation through OpenID when the wiki disallows for anons

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/81629

pinging all, I do need some help, because the patch is not working as expected.
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/81629/

The special page (account creation by mail)is listed, and can be accessed, but after having filled in data, the wiki with E:OpenID says "You are already logged in". I do know this message very well, but don't know, why my patch is not working.

perhaps a problem of my wrong
"class SpecialOpenIDCreateAccountByMail extends SpecialPage" ???
in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/81629/10/SpecialOpenIDCreateAccountByMail.body.php or wrong context.

Please help me fixing it.
