Extension:ConfirmUsersEmail

Warning: The author of this extension is no longer maintaining it, meaning any reports for additional features and/or bugfixes will more than likely be ignored.

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.

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).
