Details
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.
Account creations from users with the noratelimit right or another rate limiting exemption aren't counted.
The ExemptFromAccountCreationThrottle hook can also be used to exempt an IP address. When the throttle is hit, the AuthenticationAttemptThrottled hook gets called.
It is currently set to 6 on Wikimedia Foundation wikis.[1]
$wgMainCacheType must be set to a value other than CACHE_NONE for this setting to work.
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 T233704
