[edit] What can this extension do?
Adds a special page to allow mass user import from a CSV. Currently takes the first part of the email address as the username.
[edit] Usage
The special page contains a textbox and a submit button. The syntax for the textbox is as follows:
Real Name 1, email@example.com Real Name 2, email2@example.com
This will create two accounts, email and email2.
[edit] Download instructions
Download from http://fincul.com/f/MassUserImport.zip. Unzip, and place in $IP/extensions/MassUserImport/. Note: $IP stands for the root directory of your MediaWiki installation, the same directory that holds LocalSettings.php.
[edit] Installation
Install like any other special page:
require_once("$IP/extensions/MassUserImport/MassUserImport.php");
Once installed, look under Special Pages->Users for MassUserImport.
[edit] Configuration parameters
There are no configuration options.
[edit] User rights
Users must have the createaccount right to be able to create accounts.
[edit] Note
I created this extension because it was needed for a project. No other extension seemed to do this, which seemed like a huge, glaring omission. I've posted this as a courtesy so others can make use of it, but I can't commit to maintaining it or supporting it beyond our needs. If someone else wants to update it, feel free, but keep my username attached so I can keep this on my resume.
Thanks, and good luck!
