User:MediaWiki default/Old user page

This is the username used by the maintenance script rebuildmessages.php. The script is part of MediaWiki; it updates MediaWiki interface messages to be equal to the MediaWiki default. It is not a bot and is unaffected by blocks.

The script has two modes of operation:


 * rebuildMessages.php --update : Updates any messages which were last edited by "MediaWiki default" to their current version. Creates any messages which did not exist.
 * rebuildMessages.php --rebuild : Updates all messages to their current default value, regardless of whether they have been manually edited. This is sometimes used on other wikis when a new messages file has just been created, with a comprehensive set of default messages. It has never been used on the English Wikipedia.

Edits made by this script had a user ID of zero, so they were treated as anonymous edits in the page history, with a link to the user contributions instead of the user page.

The same username is also used by the MediaWiki installer. Installing MediaWiki has the same effect as rebuildMessages.php --update.

If there is a problem with the text of the default messages, please file a bug report at http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/. Requests to start or stop the script should be made to the #wikimedia-tech channel on irc.freenode.net.
