Hi For some historical reason I am using mediawiki 1.6.6. I have to migrate some stuff to this mediawiki. I have to create somehow 700 users. For each user I have: . user_id (numeric) . username, . user_real_name . user_email and . user_password.
Is there any way (a script) for a bulk user creation?
Thanks in advance.

I don't have that schema easily available to me, but it seems like you have everything you would need. After making a 'cloneme' user, read in your list of users, that you select all the fields from cloneme user (for its defaults) and overwrite that user's information with the above known information seems like a pretty simple Perl script or what have you.
Are those passwords cleartext or known to be compatible?

Seems to be that this is what I was looking for.
Thanks a lot.
