Description Quiddity 2014-08-15 01:08:25 UTC 
Bug 49719 added automatic watchlisting of a new account's userpage.

However, it doesn't extend to other wikis on the same wikifarm. 

I.e. 
If I create a new account at Enwiki. The userpage there is automatically watchlisted. 
I then visit Frwiki. The userpage there is Not watchlisted.

We should really fix this in core, and not in every AuthPlugin extension. But that would requiring fixing the account creation logic and ugh.
Comment 2 Matthew Flaschen 2014-08-15 22:34:34 UTC 
Fair enough.  It seems like perhaps it can just be moved from SpecialUserlogin->initUser to User->addToDatabase.

The latter is called by CentralAuth.
