FilterListUsers is a MediaWiki extension that hides users who have made $wgFilterListUsersMinimumEdits (5 by default) or less edits from Special:ListUsers unless the current user has the viewallusers user right, in which case they can view the full, "uncensored" user list. Users who belong to one (or more) of the user groups listed in the $wgFilterListUsersExemptGroups configuration variable are also not filtered out; by default these groups are: sysop, bureaucrat, steward, staff, globalbot

By default administrators have the viewallusers user right, so they can view the full user list.

Note that this extension only modifies what's shown on the Special:ListUsers special page; it does not alter the output of the query API (api.php?action=query&list=allusers) as (as of MediaWiki 1.39).

This extension is based on an old core hack by Wikia.
