I successfully updated my mediawiki-installation from an old 1.4.x version to 1.6.x and then to 1.8.2
Now after the update the link to new-account-creation is missing on the Special:Userlogin-Page. anonymous users cannot create new accounts anymore, i couldn't figure out how to do it as wiki-admin either.
the rights in the localSettings file should be correct: $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = true;
Has anybody an idea why the account-creation-link is not displayed anymore?
