Thanks Marc for disabling the heavily abused Wiki account creation page
"I changed it so you can't request an account
Instead I have restricted new account creation so that only existing users can
create a new account
You go here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Special:CreateAccount
Then you check the "set temporary random password" and type in the user's
details. They will get an email with their login details and be prompted to
set a permanent password on first login"
Jake told me that we were getting a lot of bot account requests causing
email notification spam.
I have disabled the ConfirmAccount plugin and instead restricted new
account creation on the wiki to existing users.
Any existing user can go here:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Special:CreateAccount
and create an account for a new user. If you check the "use a temporary
random password" then they will be prompted to set their own password on
first login.

our mediawiki account request feature is being misused for ddosing peoples
email addresses apparently.
Can we somehow inhibit people from requesting an account and having an email
sent to them from the wiki? see attached bounce message, we've been getting
tons of these.
