Change Details

After {T345578}, an error would be thrown from any workflow that tried to create an actor with an IP address as their user name. Such workflows should be updated to create a temporary user instead. **This does not apply to** * Actions that can never be performed by an IP user * Workflows that already go via EditPage (which is the one place where temporary users are created) **What does each workflow need to do?** * This is still being discussed - see {T336187}. **Examples** * See how `EditPage` uses the `TempUserCreator`. (This is the only example in the codebase at the time of writing.) * WIP examples that demonstrate how to this can be done for other features: * [[https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/954721|UploadBase in core (uses 'upload' permission)]] * [[https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase/+/966585|ApiSetClaim in Wikibase extension (uses 'edit' permission)]]
