Has there been any movement toward API account creation? [1] I maintain several projects that use the API to embed a MediaWiki-type interface into a CMS. As it stands now, I need to tell my users to go to the MediaWiki interface to create an account -- a discombobulating experience for many.

API is the wrong way, use https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/AuthPlugin
I may be misunderstanding AuthPlugin, but I want to use the native MediaWiki account creation and my CMS is not necessarily on the same server as MediaWiki. The API seems to be my only option.
