Could it possible at least to choose wether to have this blurb or not ? Thank
you :) --dieudo

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.

I don't understand how it can make no sens for you to have this blurb ?

On the other hand, I'm still a bit worried about seeing my email adress
vulnerable here !
Aren't you for yours ? (spams, etc...)

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.
