To be clear, I did not ignore third party use cases when implementing this.  I
worked under the theory that the small, targeted messages and links we added
(e.g. createacct-helpusername, createacct-helpusername-link, and
createacct-imgcaptcha-help) would be enough to replace the long text at the
start and end, for MW wikis in general.

The idea was that inline placement and linking (instead of of long messages on
the page itself) would be more user-friendly and encourage concise messages.
