Hello:
I've looked around for the answers to these questions but have not found any solutions or suggestions.
- When looking at Special Page > User list, I noticed that some users
have a "created on" date beside their user name like:
Some User (Created on 22 March 2007 at 14:02)
And some do not have anything beside their user name.
What causes this to happen?
If you go back far enough you may find user accounts created under versions of MediaWiki that didn't record the account creation date; this is probably what you're seeing.
- Is there a way to tell if a user who has an account has "never" logged
in?
Hmmmm, not sure if there's a reliable one. You can check if user_touched has been updated BUT this gets updated for things like people leaving messages on their talk page.
