The Admin instructions at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Preventing_Access
indicate to do this by:
* Note: New users will still be able to be created by sysops, in
the
following manner:
Go to [[Special:Userlogin]], when logged in as a sysop. The
link
to
this page differs from language, (f.ex. in Dutch it is
[[Special:Userlogin]]). Enter a username and an email address, and
click
the "by email" button.
Funny, that caught me just today... I've now changed it to say:
Go to [[Special:Userlogin]], when logged in as a sysop, then click on
"Create an account" to get to the account creation form. Enter a
username and an email address, and click the "by email" button. The
account will be created with a random password which is then emailed to
the given address.
