[Mediawiki-l] How to create multiple user accounts with similar attributes?

I need to create 5 accounts with similar attributes. In other words I need a way to batch create accounts.

I found a script:

insert into user (user_name) values('Blargy'); update user set user_password=md5(concat(user_id,'-',md5('wonko'))) where user_name='Blargy';

But for some reason this never populates the password field in the mysql dbase. Has anyone had this issue? Or does anyone have a better way to create batch registrations?
