I had a similar issue once in the past at a Wikipedia editing workshop.
The easiest and most practical way is to request an 'account creator' [1]
rights, if the they plan to run the project for a long time :

or to request the accounts to be created by existing account creators at :

Hello everyone,
I am in touch with a high school class in South Africa that has been
writing Wikipedia Articles in isiXhosa.
Some of the Wikipedians in the class:

More about the school:

Their teacher has been helping them with this effort for one hour a week.
it's the only time that they have internet access. He told me:
"
1. **We started with registering everyone as
editors on Wikipedia.
This took a couple of sessions as there is a Wikipedia limit of 6
registrations from the same computer lab per day.
"
Are there any admins who could change this limit to something more like the
size of a large classroom? These students are the only contributors to
isiXhosa Wikipedia and they are very excited to work on it.
