Register.pm automatically writes:

* Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = %WIKIUSERNAME%

if no SPLIT is found in the topic - which may happen if you want to use a clean custom layout.

I propose to change this to

<!--
* Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = %WIKIUSERNAME%
-->

so the line is at least hidden from view.

If we do that no new user will ever know it is there.

They will not click edit to remove or change something they cannot see.

They do not have to change this at all. Moreover, this line is not written at all by default, only when there is no SPLIT in the template.

The default is that user pages are not protected at all: any registered user may change it!

I am confused to what the default should be. Either situation is a bug.

Made a better statement in Item3892.
