I've experienced this several many times, that people are confused by
the message, despite it says what it says. Thus I suggest to make it
even clearer.

How about: 

"Account creation *delayed*: to prevent spam, this wiki requires additional
information from some people. Please contact wiki@debian.org and describe
what you want to do in the wiki. To repeat: please mail us if you need
an account."

(I replaced "failed" with "delayed" and add the last sentence.)
