Log Message:
-----------
(bug 8440) Allow preventing blocked users from editing their talk pages
* Adds database field to ipblocks table, ipb_allow_usertalk, storing
whether or not the user can edit their own talk page. Defaults to 0 to
coincide with the default value of $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit.
* Recommended to update all current blocks to have a allow_usertalk value
of whatever the current setting is
* Retasks $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit to be the default value of the field in the
blocking screen - unless a sysop changes the checkbox, will use whatever
that variable is set to.
Suggest reverting this. Repurposing $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit is a bad idea imo.
Sysadmins
who set that to false (ie: not allowing edits) shouldn't expect their sysops
to be able to
override that (which they now can).
