Can I set up MediaWiki so that requests to register are sent to me so I can approve the registration?

I set one up so that people have to fill out a form (custom form mail PHP code), which then sends an email to me, and I then enter them. This is not bad if volume is low -- I enter no more than one or two a week this way.

Be careful about downloading and installing common form mail software, and about coding one yourself. Poorly coded forms enable script injection. I log a half-dozen attempts a month.
