User creation not sending random generated password

Hi there,

I am using MediaWiki 1.24.0. When I create new users, and choose "Use a temporary random password and send it to the specified email address" the user will recieve the mail defined in "MediaWiki:Confirmemail_body" but not the random password mail.

Do I have to enable that some where, or is there a variable containing the password to be used in the "MediaWiki:Confirmemail_body"?

Thanks a lot!

I just checked the source and your users should be getting the text of [[MediaWiki:createaccount-text]] with the password substituted for $3.
