Extension:ChangeUserPasswords/zh

更改用户密码是MediaWiki的扩展，它定义了一个特殊页面：Special:ChangeUserPasswords，允许管理员一次性更改用户密码. 密码随机生成并以表格形式显示给管理员. 除管理员之外的任何其他用户都无法访问或查看该页面.

ChangeUserPasswords还使用Admin_Link挂钩显示Admin Links下的功能. 因此，还必须安装Extension:AdminLinks.

MediaWiki already provides a Special:ResetPassword" page, which allows users to change or reset their password, which may lead you to wonder what the need is for the additional "ChangeUserPasswords" page. However, there are a number of important differences that make "ChangeUserPasswords" useful:


 * "ResetPassword" allows only the logged in user to change their password.
 * "ChangeUserPasswords" allows administrators to change the passwords of several users at one go. This is useful when the wiki is supposed to be used by new users and old users do not need access to the wiki anymore. Admins can share the new passwords to new users without creating new user. So new users can directly log in and start using the wiki. This is highly useful in universities where there are new students every semester.
 * Finally, the Admin Links extension hook puts a link for Change User Passwords to "AdminLinks" in administrators' personal tools, which makes things more convenient
