Hi, I remember that there was a "email password" button on the account creation page. I was able to register a user (with all details) and then have the wiki email the account details and password to the user email address. I have looked around the configuration instructions on mediawiki.org and on the web, but can't find anything. Any ideas what I might be missing?
We are using version 1.11.
Thanks, Andi

It's on the login page, not the registration page. To the right of the "Log In" button under the form, there's "E-mail new password".

On the WMF wikis is that button there only when you create a user when logged in as sysop.

AH! That's it! I made the mistake of logging out and then wanting to create an account for someone else. You need to be logged in and when you you create the account there is a "by email" button.
