Can a user set their own chosen password when the wiki is set to only allow logged-in users to edit and a sysop to create new accounts? You only see the boxes to log in and mail a new password. This user is not very technical, though she is sensible and pleaded password-fatigue, she's already struggling to remember them.
But it seemed worth asking! I don't see an item in the FAQ.
by the way, is the FAQ welcoming idiots like me drafting answers to questions and contributing, when suitably advised here by those who know? or is it preferred that only power users contribute? thanks. I'd be happy to convert my questions into items there once i've made every conceivable mistake and been corrected...

I think anyone collecting questions and answers writing them into a FAQ and keeping it reasonably updated would be a very good thing!
e.g. anything Brion answers with a link to a past Mediawiki-l or Wikitech-l post ...
