IT IS REALLY SIMPLE (for users). They don't have to manually login, they are logged in invsibily, their account is created automatically, BUT this is reported nowhere (the creation is NOT logged). The user can immediately create his page or start editing or change his preferences if he wishes. BUT the full creation (which will be logged) is delayed until the user really SAVES something on the wiki.This requires NO additional action by the user. I maintain that my solution is the simplest, and offers all the benefits. Except that the "autocreated user account" status blocks all interactions using private emails, or every other actions by others that the user should have been given a chance to define in his preferences. NO OTHER action or option is needed in the User Preferences dialog. The user just has to save his settings to change its status automatically (almost invisibly) from "autocreated" to "registered". If the user wants to edit a page (including his own page) while he is logged on but still with the "autocreated" status, only at this time there could be a dialog informing that default options will be set in his account, so the user should be given a chance to define his OWN settings, not those settings that are preselected by default (notably not the preselected email options). In other words, nothing changes for the user just visiting a new wiki. His privacy is completely protected, the "autocreated" user account will NOT even appear in the list of "registered" users.
