Description Mark A. Hershberger 2011-03-24 21:07:57 UTC 
In order to address privacy concerns from auto-created accounts (Bug #19161), $wgLogAutocreatedAccounts was created so that accounts which were auto-created because of CentralAuth would not be logged.

This change makes it difficult for admins to patrol their wiki's for malicious users since they can't see newly created accounts.

A way to handle the privacy concerns without impeding the admins' work should be found.
Comment 1 Nemo 2013-08-14 15:07:05 UTC 
This was fixed by removing the configuration variable, r85128.
