  Locally, I don’t get this error, and the reason seems to be that 
`RecentChangesFactory` detects that the user couldn’t be found, and asks the 
`ExternalUserNames` service to prefix it; `ExternalUserNames` then produces an 
`rc_user_text` string like `repowiki>User name`, and the `>` marks the name as 
not “usable”, so the `ActorStore` doesn’t complain. Apparently, sometimes (e.g. 
on @Michael’s local wiki), some part of this doesn’t happen, so that the 
`rc_user_text` is just the user name on the repo wiki, which is a “usable” 
name, and the `ActorStore` refuses to assign an actor ID to a name that’s 
usable but not registered (after all, such a user could register later!).
  
  > CannotCreateActorException: Cannot create an actor for a usable name that 
is not an existing user
