<!--T:3-->
Limit to the number of accounts which may be created within a 24-hour period from a single IP address (whether by unregistered or registered user), 0 to disable.

<!--T:4-->
Account creations from users with the <tvar name=noratelimit><code>noratelimit</code></tvar> [[<tvar name=rights>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:User rights</tvar>|right]] aren't counted.

<translate><!--T:5--> It is currently set to <tvar name=1>6</tvar> on Wikimedia Foundation wikis.</translate><ref>[[phab:T212667]]</ref>
<translate><!--T:8--> <tvar name=MainCacheType><code>{{ll|Manual:$wgMainCacheType|$wgMainCacheType}}</code></tvar> must be set to a value other than <tvar name=none><code>CACHE_NONE</code></tvar> for this setting to work.</translate>

{{Note|1=<translate><!--T:14--> When using a captcha, failed captcha attempts increment the number of account creation for the IP address. Have this in mind if you have a captcha implemented and you want to set the account creation limit too low. See <tvar name=bug>{{task|T233704}}</tvar></translate>}}
