Yes this is a template used by mediawiki from

and exactly this template, plain text is used on production of

On other hand anyone who knows the email could trigger it. In case
that OTRS is using wikimedia SUL account with OTRS email account,
anyone filling it in PasswordReset could trigger system to send you
this message. There is no protection from this so far.
Ah, sorry my message might not have been clear :)
There are several emails in OTRS from* other people* asking about these
emails, having received them themselves (some claiming never to have had an
account on WP).
After research, and comments here, I'm certain this is a spam issue
originating from somewhere else, rather than something associated with us.
Cheers all.
