Provided one does it correctly, you can mass-create users in the users
table using SQL. Note that you shouldn't mass delete them, though.
Search for "mediawiki user_password md5" on Google, and you will find
the following in a useful post from Brion Vibber:
insert into user (user_name) values('Blargy');
update user set user_password=md5(concat(user_id,'-',md5('wonko')))
where user_name='Blargy';
These are the two SQL statements needed. I'd suggest you create a
small PHP script which loops through a list of users and issues these
queries for each one.

Hi,
I am starting a Wiki for a university course. Is it possible to register
people in batches? I.e. 300-400 accounts created in a batch on
mediawiki?
