From 2b6460fa68987de0453ab4c21fbf1e0100e3d78b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Wolff Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2014 21:42:13 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] Set $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit = true; by default This setting allows blocked users to edit their talk page, unless talk page editing is specificly revoked in the Special:Block screen. Almost all Wikimedia wikis do this, to the point where many people don't even realize it's a config option. Note: Existing blocks will not be affected by this setting change.
