Extension:Password Reset

Password Reset extension allows Wiki users with the 'passwordreset' permission to reset MediaWiki user's passwords (Local users only).
 * As of v1.6, r30588, the "Disabled users" special page lists users that have been disabled using PasswordReset.
 * As of v1.4, r28418, the GetBlockStatus hook is employed to disallow users emailing themselves new (random) passwords from the login form if their account has been DISABLED via the Password Reset extension.
 * The system message shown to users with disabled accounts who request a new password via email is 'blocked-mailpassword'
