Manual talk:Edit.php

"If the specified user does not exist, it will be created."

Is there a default password used for these created accounts? By default, could a person utilize these accounts for logging into the wiki? If I don't want these accounts to be abused, would I need to add them to $wgReservedUsernames?

The user created is initialized with a "not set" password, which means nobody can log in with that user account.

Is there a way to make edits to the wiki from the command line that are attributed to specific users but will only make the edits if the user has the correct editing permissions?

I'd like to use this script, but I don't want to override any page locks or user account restrictions in doing so.

This script doesn't check for such restrictions. Looks like you'll have to tell your users to edit the pages directly or use a bot

AUTO CREATE PAGE[edit]

To create automatically an new page use the following in an shell in an QNAP 459

This will create an new page called Page_I_want_to_create

/mnt/ext/opt/apache/bin/php /share/Web/VHost_qbox4u/conf/tech/mwk/maintenance/edit.php -s "Quick edit" -m Page_I_want_to_create < /share/Web/tst/aa.txt

This looks like a problem with UMEduWiki extension. Try disabling it, get an updated version of it or open a bug report to the maintainer of that extension (which doesn't seem to be listed here on mediawiki.org)
