Hi, I need to create some user accounts and have mediawiki send the users a welcome message. I found the Mediawiki:confirmemail_body page which appears to feed such a welcome message. How do I do that? If I use Special:Userlogin, create an account and use "by email", the user gets a password reminder, but not a welcome message. I could change the password reminder text, but that wouldn't be correct for all the other users who use that page to genuinely retrieve their password.
Thanks, Andi
Which version of MediaWiki are you running?
In MediaWiki 1.12.0 the new messages 'createaccount-title' and 'createaccount-text' were introduced for this case. It solved https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3973
