Extension:ConfirmUsersEmail

Overview
This extension allows anyone with the confirmusersemail permission (Bureaucrat by default) to set other users emailconfirmed while not revealing said user's email address. This is not logged, but an email is sent to the user being emailconfirmed. Also, if you set the setemail right, users with that right can use this form to view and set email addresses as well.

Not Compatible After MediaWiki 1.18
This extension, like most extensions written for earlier versions of MediaWiki, requires the AddMessages object which was removed in MediaWiki 1.18.

Usage
Visit Special:ConfirmUsersEmail, type in a username, click the confirm button, and you've just confirmed their email! Easy as that. If they don't have an email specified or if they already have a confirmed email address, you will be shown an error message (unless you have the setemail right, in which case you can set the email address).
