Toggle the table of contents Manual:$wgAccountCreationThrottle Number of accounts each IP address may create, 0 to disable.
Introduced in version: 1.3.0 Removed in version: Still in use Allowed values: (integer or array) Default value: See below

Details

Limit to the number of accounts which may be created within a 24-hour period from a single IP address (whether by unregistered or registered user), 0 to disable.

Account creations from users with the noratelimit right aren't counted.

It is currently set to 6 on Wikimedia Foundation wikis.^[1] $wgMainCacheType must be set to a value other than CACHE_NONE for this setting to work.

When using a captcha, failed captcha attempts increment the number of account creation for the IP address. Have this in mind if you have a captcha implemented and you want to set the account creation limit too low. See
