Extension:EditUser

Warning: The author of this extension is no longer maintaining it, meaning any reports for additional features and/or bugfixes will more than likely be ignored.

Usage
This extension displays a preferences form (like the one in Special:Preferences) that allows editing the preferences of other users. You can call the page via Special:EditUser/username to directly edit a user, or Special:EditUser to display a search form. Users with the edituser-exempt permission cannot be edited via this form.

Only grant access to this extension to users you trust. Accounts can literally be taken over from use of this extension.

Debug mode
Debug mode is generally not useful unless testing or in an attempt to discover a problem. When enabled, it uses the SavePreferences hook to record the current and new state of the user's preferences into a debug file (by default $IP/extensions/EditUser/debug.log).

To enable debug mode, add the following to LocalSettings.php after the require_once call to the EditUser extension:

Then, create the file you specified in $wgEditUserDebugLog. If you do not create the file, debug mode cannot create it for you and as such will not work.
