If so, not a particularly serious issue, as MediaWiki is GPL2ed (not sure what is the relevance of your remark that each wiki account has a userpage; userpages are not created automatically on registration, at least in the LW wiki configuration).
I meant that if a userpage was automatically created (I was under the impression that they were, based on this user list and my experience on Wikipedia—feel free to correct me), then it would count as a recent “change” and show up in the recent changes list.
I don’t think they are. I rarely have to delete user pages because most spammers never create a user page. The items in the sidebar with my name seem to refer to me blocking the user accounts.
I suspect that this is hard coded actually, as each wiki account has a userpage (User:[username]), which is itself wiki-editable.
