- To have a combined form like that you have to create

login links
Hence with these two facts that means it's impossible to make an alternate
login form without replacing stuff inside the personal_urls by using hooks
and constructing your own arrays to put in the list.
Wikia doesn't even bother with hooks, they just make core modifications
for this stuff.
Just FYI, work is being done to decouple account creation from
Special:UserLogin. The initial SignupAPI extension was a GSOC project, and
it's currently undergoing code review etc. This should allow us to
implement some long overdue improvements, such as:
