Description Mike.lifeguard 2009-03-27 23:17:14 UTC

Please add a marker to differentiate these two - most of what we care about is the first time account creations - not the automatic ones after that. If that's done, we can filter things more effectively.

A marker where, for what, that looks like what?

Currently, we have:
\x0314[[\x0307User:Mike.lifeguard\x0314]]\x034@enwikibooks\x0310 \x0302http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Mike.lifeguard\x03 \x035*\x03 \x0303Mike.lifeguard\x03 \x035*\x03

could change to

\x0314[[\x0307User:Mike.lifeguard\x0314]]\x034@enwikibooks\x0310 \x0303A\x03 \x0302http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Mike.lifeguard\x03 \x035*\x03 \x0303Mike.lifeguard\x03 \x035*\x03

for automatic account creations and

\x0314[[\x0307User:Mike.lifeguard\x0314]]\x034@enwikibooks\x0310 \x0303M\x03 \x0302http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Mike.lifeguard\x03 \x035*\x03 \x0303Mike.lifeguard\x03 \x035*\x03
for manual.

Adding the fact we're talking about IRC feeds to the summary.

Comment 4 Krinkle 2012-02-22 18:08:50 UTC

Is this resolved now? There is a new log_action 'autocreate' under log_type 'newusers'.

Comment 5 Alex Monk 2012-02-22 19:11:44 UTC

Doesn't look like it:
