$assignKnownUsers )

Member Function Documentation

◆ addPrefix()

ExternalUserNames::addPrefix ( $name)

Add an interwiki prefix to the username regardless of circumstances.

Parameters
string$name
Returns
string Prefixed username, using ">" as separator

Definition at line 127 of file ExternalUserNames.php.

Referenced by applyPrefix().

◆ applyPrefix()

ExternalUserNames::applyPrefix ( $name)

Add an interwiki prefix to the username, if appropriate.

This method does have a side-effect on SUL (single user login) wikis: Calling this calls the ImportHandleUnknownUser hook from the CentralAuth extension, which assigns a local ID to the global user name, if possible. No prefix is applied if this is successful.
