Honestly, given that we now have a nice interface in the block page where admins can select "allow this user to edit talk page (yes/no)". Perhaps we should kill this setting altogether.
I'll set this to be true by default for now and remove this option in trunk if noone complains about it.
Right now itwiki is the only one where it is not enabled. Completely removing this option may need a little discussion. 'wgBlockAllowsUTEdit' => array( 'default' => true, // http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28288 'itwiki' => false, //requested by Brownout on #wikimedia-tech and http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9073 ),
This has been set to true for all present and future wikis so resolving FIXED. Whether or not to remove the option entirely is a MediaWiki question and can be filed as a separate bug.
