[[Special:Contributions/newbies]] only produces a list of contributions by new users. There does not seem to be any log that produces newly created users.
Created attachment 831 [details] A hacked version of SpecialListusers to list last 1% of accounts Having a new user list seemed so easy, I decided to make one. This is a stripped down version of SpecialListusers with a slightly different query designed to catch only the last 1% of registered accounts and show them in descending order of registration. Maybe now we can have new games of spot the Willy or other troll before their rampages begin? As is generally the case, I do not have access to a working version of Mediawiki, so I have never tested this code. Hope it works. Seemed fairly trivial though. -DF
I support the addition of this feature. This could be very useful for spotting vandals and wouldn't seem to be prone to abuse.
There's an extension in CVS for adding a log of user creations to Special:Log
Support inclusion. Useful for Willyfighting.
This is useful, but it may not be enough as a Willy-repellant, because the Willy uses appropriately "aged" sleeper accounts that may drop off the top 1% list. I think in the long run a user list sorted by account creation time would be more flexible. See the related RfE I've posted here: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3301
Aevar seems to have installed his log, so this is done now.
