FilterListUsers is a MediaWiki extension that hides users who have made 5 or less edits from Special:ListUsers unless the current user has the viewallusers user right, in which case they can view the full, "uncensored" user list. Users who belong to one (or more) of the following groups are also not filtered out: sysop, bureaucrat, steward, staff, globalbot

By default administrators have the viewallusers user right, so they can view the full user list.

This extension is based on an old core hack by Wikia.

Installation

Bugs/Issues/To-do list

• The number 5 is hard-coded in the code, it probably should be a configuration global
• Likewise, the number of exempt groups (sysop, bureaucrat, steward, staff, globalbot) is hardcoded and it should be a configuration global
