Extension talk:LookupUser

Running under MediaWiki 1.10
According to a chat with the author on IRC, this revision is the latest that will work under MediaWiki 1.10. Jlerner 02:29, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed. The current revision uses wfLoadExtensionMessages which needs 1.11 or newer. I'll change the download link. SPQRobin 09:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I installed this extension under 1.12 and in the Special Page the selection for this extension appears as   Which looks awfully strange...

Any ideas how to correct this?

Thank you in advance!

 * shows up when the message MediaWiki:Lookupuser is missing. Make sure you have the file SpecialInterwiki.i18n.php. SPQRobin 12:05, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I do have that file installed in the extensions folder and so forth, but the message still appears as above. Is there a setting in the InterWiki table that has to be activated to make it work?
 * Thanks in advance! TeraS

Lookupuser.php
This file is a html file...so when I load INDEX on my wiki, the contents of this html shows before the contents on my index page. Should the loopupuser.php file be a php script? Thanks. --Swessels 16:23, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm seeing the same problem- I follow the instructions (in Mediawiki 1.15.1) and get a lot of code in the page header. Which leaves me a bit stuck! Somerandomnerd 12:58, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Useroptions missing in 1.16
With MW 1.16 the Extension does not show the user options. --DaSch

undefined method?
Fatal error: Call to undefined method User::getOptions in /home/firefly/public_html/extensions/LookupUser/LookupUser.body.php on line 100

why do i get this? -Cait


 * You have mismatching versions of MediaWiki and this extension. Download appropriate version of LookupUser from here. Also, if your MediaWiki is older than 1.15.1, you should be aware that we developers recommend to use latest stable release. Max Semenik 06:47, 23 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Ohh thank you so much! I had no idea i was running an old verison of mediawiki o-O Works great now <3 -Cait

I couldn't get this to work on MW1.15.4
I had to change this:

to this:

This gives the following output:



Perhaps this could be added to the next release of this extension? -- Phantom Steve /talk &#124;contribs \ 00:42, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

WMF
Is this extension used anywhere within the WMF scope? If the answer is positive, I'd like to know who has access to it and which policies they're bound by. 91.145.203.91 17:06, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * No. Everything used on WMF has OnWikimedia on its desc page. Max Semenik 17:36, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Search for E-Mail-Address
Works great, but it would be even better if you could search for e-mail addresses, not only usernames. Sometimes the username is not known and I want so search whether a user for a certain e-mail address already exists. Any plans on implementing someting like this?
 * If you're a sysadmin, you can look up user email addresses in the databases in version 1.17. After this, there seems to be a problem where you can't.  Using this method you can look at all the email addresses used by users.   ఠ_ఠ  Inquisitor Sasha Ehrenstein des Sturmkrieg Sector (Talk) (Contr) 16:52, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
