At Special:CreateAccount, it can ask questions such as "Why are you creating another account?". Where is that information stored? Is it public or shown only to checkusers/OTRS?

normally it is publicly shown on special:log

Ah, thanks, I see some examples added in the edit summary on that log page.

Do you know whether it is possible to create additional fields to contain items, such as real name, that are visible only to certain users (equivalent to the email address field).

mediawiki has (had? Im not sure it still exists) a real name feature builtin

Account creation is very flexible. Its possible to modify the form using AuthManager but it can be a bit confusing to get the hang of initially

Thanks. It looks like some combination of:

• Manual:SessionManager and AuthManager/Adding fields to the registration form
• Manual:User.php

Should be able to do something relatively logical. For context, I'm looking at how possible/impossible it is to store real names and faculty urls of anonymous peer reviewers per row 9 of this list (test wiki).
