Extension:EditAccount/pl

The EditAccount extension has two main purposes. One is to change the password, real name, or email address of another user. The second is to disable the account of another user.

The special page may be limited to a certain user group such as staff or bureaucrats.

Changing the password
Changing the password will automatically log out the user. Since the password is changed, it can prevent access to their account. This can be an alternative to disabling the user's account.

Disabling an account
Similar to the above, the user will be logged out immediately. Alongside that, the following will take effect:


 * The user's password will be scrambled, preventing them from logging in.
 * The user's email address will be removed, and the email authentication status will be also set to "not authenticated".
 * The user's real name will be set to "Account Disabled".

Note that the registration date and other preferences info will not be affected.

When viewing the contributions of a disabled user account, a note appears stating "This account has been disabled." (View example).

All account edits are automatically logged.

Konfiguracja
By default, all user groups will only have permission to close their own accounts. The user right "editaccount" will have to be set for an existing user group, e.g. "bureaucrat" or for a new user group to allow editing or closing all accounts:

Logging
Use of the special pages "CloseAccount" and "EditAccount" is logged at Special:Log/editaccnt. This log can be set to private if needed.
