is the plan to have this lock usernames too? I think it would be cool to make a page that says: user account unavailible due to such and such reason, like all of the accounts that try to impersonate jimbo that curps keeps blocking, etc. possibly blocking other names that have a 99% chance of being used as a sockpuppet account in the future too? such as by sollog.
Just a though. Kyle

Oooh, feedback...
- I'm working on a simple DeleteUser special page. It's got pushed to
the back burner due to other concerns right now, but I'll check it in at some point.
- I was toying with the idea of deleting users who hadn't edited
within a certain time period as it is...
Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep it all in mind for the next incarnation. ;-)

About an hour ago, I checked in a PHP script which checks the database for users who haven't made edits, and deletes them. It runs from the command line (phpShell seems fine with it, too) and works relatively quickly.
Other feature ideas:
- Delete a specific user
- Delete a regex of users -- build the list and display it, and then
ask for confirmation on that list (probably an overkill feature)
- Perform deletions based on their last visit -- i.e. delete a user
which hasn't visited in x amount of time.
- Email a user that is to be deleted. "Hi there, you haven't visited
example.com so your account has been automatically deleted."
There is no real inline functionality to pull up an overview list of users and display information about their last login, last edit or the like.. a separate script to do that would be cool. Then the deletion script could use the user display script to get its information, and act accordingly.
All of that available through mediawiki itself would be cool. Is it possible to have a special page which acts as a simple gateway to any script in the maintenance directory? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
