* (bug 21503) There's now a "reason" field when creating account for other users
Comment:
Interestingly, Brandon's comment made me look at this a bit more closely.
wikimediafoundation.org (a fishbowl wiki) uses the field occasionally, as can
be seen from the database:
<source lang="text" enclose="div">
mysql> select log_comment from logging where log_type = 'newusers' order by
log_timestamp desc limit 50;

<http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:Log>. A bit bizarre.
