Manual:Account creation

Account creation is done through Special:CreateAccount. It is possible, through the configuration setting $wgGroupPermissions, to disable account creation or to limit it to sysops; see Manual:Preventing access. There are three types of account creation, each with a separate log event action type:
 * &mdash; a new user creates his own account.
 * &mdash; another user account is created by an existing user.
 * &mdash; a new account is autocreated using AuthPlugin.
