Since r61917 (3 February), running the api tests have been creating a user called 'Useruser' which initially had a random password. r72475 (6 September) screwed up by using a hardcoded pasword. Since it wasn't too bad for wikis allowing account creation, r74118 (1 October) made that user a sysop. Finally, r74213 (3 October) split it into two users.
Why are these tests messing with the live database? For consistency of results, shouldn't they be using a fresh database on each run?
Well, yes. We also do have the code, but only for parsertests. Somebody should go ahead and generalize this code for all tests.
