Sometimes, an external auth module is in complete control of user name, Email, Nickname. If so, it only causes confusion to allow user editing in the MW preferences. Patchfile attached.
Created attachment 3318 [details] Patch that implements suggested enhancement
I think I'd rather see these implemented as methods to the AuthPlugin interface, rather than polluting the configuration namespace with more global variables...
Created attachment 3320 [details] This patch implements as methods in $wgAuth Your wish is my command :) Here's a new patch, that implements the same thing via $wgAuth.
(In reply to comment #3) > Created an attachment (id=3320) [edit]This patch implements as methods in $wgAuthYour wish is my command :)Here's a new patch, that implements the same thing via $wgAuth. You might want to check your encoding, there's a couple of strange changes at the bottom of that..."ævar" is being changed to "ævar" for example, and there are some other oddities.
Created attachment 3327 [details] $wgAuth patch update w/ UTF8 Thanks, Phil! I needed to modify my tool settings for MW, defaulting to UTF8 files. (This is my first OSS project that has made the shift.) Attached file implements $wgAuth version of the feature, and has no UTF8 anomalies.
Patch does not apply to the new preferences system, but on the other hand it should be easy to port it.
Done in r50086
