To list the UX workflows for Create Account from different entry points
Notes:
- all cases below were checked on enwiki wmf.1
- since the scope of the task to document where an account creation workflow might be initiated, I excluded the account creation options that are not user-facing, e.g. account creation api, script for account creation, and auto-created accounts.
