I think it would be helpful to add an optional "reason" field when creating an account for a third person using Special:Createaccount so that others can know the reason in Special:Log/newusers. It can be shown like:
00:00 1 jan 2009 User (talk | contribs | block) created new account for User:XXX (talk | contribs | block) (a reason here)
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but no. This is not something we should be doing.
I'm re-opening this bug. r70272 should be reverted.

It would be helpful if you explained your views.
You know, I totally misunderstood this as I saw it. Plus, I had another extension running which hooked over seeing this in the situation it was running in.
I ''do'' think that the entire "create an account for someone" flow needs reworking but I'm going to withdraw objection here; my bad; nothing to see here; carry on; these are not the droids you're looking for.
