* Already have an account? Log in. It's already known the operator has an account and this page is deliberately visited. Just hide this line? * E-mail address is optional, but is needed for password resets, should you forget your password. You can also choose to let others contact you by e-mail through a link on your user or talk page. Your e-mail address is not revealed when other users contact you. Various "you" are not suitable because it's usually true that the operator is creating an account for another person. * Real name is optional. If you choose to provide it, this will be used for giving you attribution for your work. Ditto. * Remember my login on this browser (for a maximum of 180 days) It's not "my login". Also this checkbox doesn't make much sense in this context.
Gerrit change #39862
Had to rewrite this for the new login form... Please take a look at patch set 9.

Change 39862 abandoned by Alex Monk: Tweak account creation interface messages for logged in users Reason: See bug https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/39862
Quietly resolved for a separate bug (now marked as dupe) with a separate commit by someone who was on my commit's reviewer list since February.
Change 39862 restored by Spage: Tweak account creation interface messages for logged in users Reason: There are good ideas in here that change I00e0d21d63bf32ad691ea3a27523298478e2d45c doesn't incorporate, I will submit a revision that restores them. I didn't intend to ignore this solid gerrit change, it's my fault for confusing it with 66193. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/39862
Sorry, Alex. I wasn't aware of this bug, or 39862. I've added myself as reviewer to the change now.

Thanks Krenair and MatmaRex. The worst offender for this bug is the title of Special:UserLogin/signup, MediaWiki:Createaccount . It was originally only the title of the special page, but got recently abused as link label from the personal toolbar of unregistered users; the result is that e.g. in Italian it says "Register" to satisfy the new usecase and is no longer ok as title for the special page. The two messages should be separated.
