Since MediaWiki 1.18 we have the variable $wgUseCombinedLoginLink [1]
which is set to true per default.

During edit workshops with students and seniors I registered that new
editors are confused about the combined login page. They tried to
register new accounts on the login page.

Surely, these observations are not representative but I think that the
usability could be improved by setting $wgUseCombinedLoginLink=false

If I missed a prior discussion about this issue I apologize and would be
happy if someone could point me to the discussion.

Otherwise I suggest to set $wgUseCombinedLoginLink to false for all WMF
wikis.

Raimond.
