@Yaron_Koren : Just tested with MW 1.30.1.. Works like a charm!

@Yaron_Koren : I have fixed this issue following the instructions you gave. I tested this in MW 1.31 and MW 1.32 (See Screenshots). Do you think I should test this with other versions even (before I push the fix)?

Hi I am interested in contributing to this for GSOC 2019. I already have developed an extension before (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ChangeUserPasswords)
Therefore I have the right skillsets for this.
Assigning myself the microtasks :)
