confirmemail_body and create account

Hi,
I need to create some user accounts and have mediawiki send the users
a welcome message. I found the Mediawiki:confirmemail_body page which
appears to feed such a welcome message. How do I do that? If I use
Special:Userlogin, create an account and use "by email", the user gets
a password reminder, but not a welcome message. I could change the
password reminder text, but that wouldn't be correct for all the other
users who use that page to genuinely retrieve their password.

Thanks,
Andi

Which version of MediaWiki are you running?

In MediaWiki 1.12.0 the new messages 'createaccount-title' and
'createaccount-text' were introduced for this case. It solved

In 1.11, is it hard-coded somewhere so that I can replace it?

The last resort would be to temporarily change the "email password"
content to the account registration content, register all the users,
and then change it back...

A second-to-last resort could be to upgrade to 1.12, perhaps?

I know, it's on my plan, but not now... ;)

Upgraded to 1.12, worked like a charm...
Thanks for your help,
