I think that would have a similar effected as "failed". How about:

"Account creation *delayed*: to prevent spam, this wiki requires additional
information from some people. Please contact [email protected] and describe
what you want to do in the wiki. You *must* mail us if you need an account.
If you don't mail us, no account will be created."
