On my wiki I have turned off creating accounts. The Special:Userlogin page then no longer includes the 'Retype Passwords', 'Email' etc. fields. It still includes the blurb from MediaWiki:Emailforlost though, which makes no sense. Here's a tiny patch to fix that.
Created attachment 1441 [details] patch to not display email blurb when you're not going to create an account anyway
Reviewed and applied to CVS. Will be in 1.5.8.
I also have turned off creating accounts, and find it very usefull for users who forgot their password to have the possibility to have it sent to their email ! Could it possible at least to choose wether to have this blurb or not ? Thank you :) --dieudo
is it possible not to have my email visible on this page ? --dieudo
The bug has been fixed in CVS HEAD and should be fixed in MediaWiki 1.5.8.
Dieudonné: As you can see on wikipedia.org, I think the new version will have something that more closely resembles what we both want.

On the other hand, I'm still a bit worried about seeing my email adress vulnerable here ! Aren't you for yours ? (spams, etc...)
Created attachment 1486 [details] Better patch: only remove the message The previous patch also removes the 'Mail me a new password' button; this one doesn't. Note how the emailforlost message is not about emailing lost passwords; perhaps it should be renamed.
New and shiny better patch -> reopened
Issue seems to have been fixed some time ago.
