--- Comment #3 from Quim Gil <[email protected]> ---
Sure, but this doesn't prevent account creation.

A regular (and even unknown) wiki will get about 20 spam accounts created every
day unless they introduce some kind of antispam measure - and even then bots
and spammers are getting better at passing through captchas.

Site admins and communities want to know who are the legitimate users in order
to e.g. reach out to them or have some stats. And well, just to have your house
clean of rubbish. It's hard to tell spam accounts apart from legitimate silent
accounts.
