Created attachment 7730 [details] Completely untested patch When the SUL account does not exist, meta=globaluserinfo returns a fatal error from the API. The core API query modules, on the other hand, normally just set a "missing" property on the appropriate result node, which allows other modules in the same query to return results. I'd really like to see something like this as a return from the above URL: <?xml version="1.0"?> <api> <query> <globaluserinfo missing=""> <unattached> <account wiki="alswiki" editcount="0" /> <account wiki="arwiki" editcount="0" /> <account wiki="cowiki" editcount="1" /> <account wiki="commonswiki" editcount="0" /> <account wiki="cswiki" editcount="0" /> <account wiki="dawiki" editcount="0" /> <account wiki="dewiki" editcount="0" /> <account wiki="elwiki" editcount="0" /> <account wiki="enwikibooks" editcount="0" /> <account wiki="enwikinews" editcount="0" /> <account wiki="enwiki" editcount="46" /> ... <account wiki="yiwiki" editcount="0" /> <account wiki="zhwiki" editcount="0" /> </unattached> </globaluserinfo> </query> </api> In other words, still include the "unattached" info even when the SUL account is missing. I have no way to test it, but it might be as simple as the attached patch. You'd want to fix the indentation, of course, but I know MediaWiki devs like to review patches without indentation changes.
Done some rough testing, and seems we can get unattached accounts fine when there isn't a global account Tweaked and fixed patch applied in r82412 Thankyou! :)
