I have a wiki where all can read, but you need an

Only the sysop can create accounts.
I have to add over a hundred different students, all with the same
initial password, with edit privileges, i.e.:
John Smith, pw Tools1
Deborah Jane, pw Tools1
Gary Neuros, pw Tools1
Up to now, I have added users by logging in as WikiSysop, then go to
Special Pages, create an account, and enter the new account.
However, I am then in that person's account, and have to log out
before logging in as WikiSysop again.
This can get tedious with 100 new accounts.
Is there any way to automate or batch-import a list of new users?
I'd either do it with an Auth plugin to automatically create the account
on first login, or temporary allow anonymous page creation and pass a
bot sending 100 POSTs.
PS: You should create accounts by email instead of giving everybody the
same password.
