**Author:** `herd` **Description:** Accounts which were created before the `user.user_registration` field existed (before rSVN12207) and which have no edits until after it are not assigned guessed data for `user.user_registration`. This is not critical but often is very confusing and sometimes wildly inaccurate. There are several months worth of data on Wikimedia wikis in the new user log from the extension (see rSVN10573 ) that could populate this data. Also, for users prior to even the extension, a Gaussian curve could be plotted from the data of available edits and log entries (all of which would be after the creation date) and normalized to a curve or wave of user creation date/ID.

**Author:** `herd` **Description:** Accounts which were created before the `user.user_registration` field existed (before rSVN12207) do not have that data in the database. Accounts without the data [had the first edit time filled in as an approximation](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FixUserRegistration.php), but this is sometimes wildly inaccurate. In addition, the field remains `NULL` for accounts without any edits.
