I've installed, ConfirmAccount, but what I really need is a bigger stick: remove all occurrences of the link "Request Creation", so I don't have to deal with the email messages associated with ConfirmAccount. It's a Special page, so it's not something I can edit.
I expect disabling that page to be temporary. If I need to, I can create an account as an administrator, so it's not a total loss.
Please help.
Bob,
I recommend installing Fail2ban on the mediawiki server to limit repeat traffic to a manageable amount.

If you don't want the request account page you can just remove the extension.
Even without the extension you can still do $wgGroupPermissions["*"]["createaccount"] = false; to disable account creation from logged out users.
