Helpful page

 * After installation, sysop username does not exist? Odessaukrain 20:13, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

CreateUser (without promote)
I created a version of this maintenance script (createUser.php) that just creates a user, but doesn't do any promotion. I added settings of the user's real name as well. I hope this is helpful to people. Dmulter 17:19, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * In current versions, createAndPromote.php can be used to create a new user without promoting him. And on the other hand the script can also be used to modify an existing user. So the script neither necessarily has to create a user, nor does it necessarily promote one. In that regard, the script name got somewhat misleading. I added that to the manual page. --87.123.39.116 17:58, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Batch Create
Is there any way to use this script to create multiple users without having to execute it over and over again? --Zackmann08 (talk) 14:45, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe create a script that puts the list of users in an array and then does a shell_exec foreach of them? Leucosticte (talk) 00:32, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

No change in user group unless re-saving user settings? (MW 1.26.2)
I realized that in MW 1.26.2 no change to the granted user group occurs unless you save once user preferences. A bug or expected behaviour? --Andreas P. 23:19, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Remove some usergroups
Is there any way to remove some usergroups from certain user using that script? or remove all groups, except listed? Ibutakov.smartec (talk) 17:32, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
