I have a situation where I'm introducing a group (internal to my organization) to our internal wiki and adding them to a specific user group. Instead of having each individual create an account, then contact me to be added to the user group, its there a way to pre-load these users and add them to the group before they login for the first time?
This way, the first time they login they can hit the ground running without a back and forth of adding them to the group individually?
I thought about adding new rows to the "user" and "user_groups" tables, but that doesn't seem to be the best way forward.

Just create the accounts via email, then add them to the correct groups. When the user logs in they will be prompted to change their password

There is the createAndPromote.php https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:CreateAndPromote.php maintenance script, though it appears to only supports sysop, bureaucrat and bot groups.
