Extension:NewSignupPage

The NewSignupPage extension enhances MediaWiki's default signup page, Special:UserLogin/signup, by requiring users to check a checkbox stating that they've read and understood the site's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

In addition to that, the extension is compatible with .

If a wiki's admins choose to give out points for recruiting new users, set   to true (and make sure that   table exists on that wiki's database beforehand!) and you're done.

Currently, the extension is configured to link to ShoutWiki's privacy policy and terms of use.

To personalize it for your wiki, you need to edit MediaWiki:shoutwiki-loginform-tos and MediaWiki:shoutwiki-must-accept-tos.

User rights
This extension adds a new user right,, which by default isn't given to any group. Users with this right can create new accounts without checking the "I accept the site's Terms of Service" checkbox.

User points

 *   — set this to something to give out points for referring a new user successfully to the site.

Customizing checkbox message
This extension adds a new checkbox in Special:UserLogin/signup (right below the Remember my login on this computer checkbox). You can edit the text for this checkbox by editing the system message in.

Parameters

 *   — if the new user was referred to the site by an existing user, should we make them friends automatically? Defaults to.
 *   — whether to track registrations into the  DB table. Defaults to.
 *   — initialize the extension, even if InviteEmail or UserRelationship classes do not exist? Useful for testing.
