Maltfield Log/2019 Q3
My work log from the year 2019 Quarter 3. I intentionally made this verbose to make future admin's work easier when troubleshooting. The more keywords, error messages, etc that are listed in this log, the more helpful it will be for the future OSE Sysadmin.

1. Marcin asked if there's any way to log activity for the Confirm Accounts extentionhttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount 2. I didn't find anything in the documenation about logs, but scanning through the code showed some calls to wfDebug() 3. we already have a debug file defined, but apparently mediawiki stopped writing after it reached 2.1G. I created a new file where we can monitor any future issues 4. in the long-term, we should probably setup this file to logrotate and compress after, say, 1G

1. marchin mentioned that some users are unable to request wiki accounts. 2. I was only given the info for one user in specific. I manually queried the DB by their email address. I found 0 entreis in the 'wiki_user' table and 0 entries in the 'wiki_account_requests" table 3. I was able to request an account using their email address, and I confirmed that it appeared in the Special:ConfirmAccounts WUI. I deleted the row, and confirmed that it disappeared from the WUI. I re-registered (to confirm that they could as well), and deleted the row again. 4. So I can't reproduce this. 5. I emailed Marcin telling him to tell users as a short fix to try again using a different Username and Password. As a long fix, tell us: The "Username" they requested The "Email address" used for the request The day, time, and timezone when they submitted the request, and Any relevant error messages that they were given (bonus points for screenshots) 6. ...so that I can research this further
