I just noticed [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NewUserMessage Extension:NewUserMessage] which seems perfectly suited to be used the way Bugman mentioned  [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Create_User_Page Extension:Create User Page] above on 16 April. This extension automatically creates a discussion page with a message for new users.

: I think we should really use such an extension.  There are just too many new user subscriptions to do this manually (and my experience from [http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/ my own wiki] is that 99% of subscriptions are failed bots).  I say install it asap.  It would really benefit real new users who might be lost under the load of failed bot registrations.  Can you install it yourself Johan?
