I'm using mediawiki on a site that employs three other web apps that require authentication. I'm trying to write a register script that will insert the desired authentication and profile data into all 3 apps' databases at the same time, so that users won't have to register 3 separate times. I've got it working on both of the other apps, but mediawiki says that the username doesn't exist when I can clearly see it in the table. I think it has something to do with my values of "" that I'm putting in the user_token and/or user_touched fields. I did this for testing purposes simply because I didn't know what was supposed to go there. What are these fields and what should I put there? Or is there something else I'm not aware of that could be causing this? user_touched looks like a date in the format YYYYMMDDHHSSMM. is that correct?
