[Mediawiki-l] User:name/subpage not working for users

[Bass, Joshua L]

Adding this to LocalSettings.php fixed the problem:

	$wgGroupPermissions['user']['protect']    = true;

However this doesn't seem like it should be doing this?

But that shouldn't affect people ability to actually *create* the
pages, only whether they're treated specially. Besides, NS_USER is set
to "true" by default anyway.

Maybe a setting *has* been added, perhaps for a different purpose but
in some kind of bodged way. (/me goes off and looks through
DefaultSettings.php for any likely candidates...)  Hm, can't see
anything, unless you've done anything odd...

I can't actually think of a situation where it requires a sysop to
create *any* page, unless only they can edit. Much less a reason why
[[User:Foo]] should be fine, but [[User:Foo/bar]] restricted, as you
seem to be implying...
