The Create User Page extension checks whether the user has a user page and, if not, creates it with the content as specified in $wgCreateUserPage_PageContent
.
The check is done when the user logs in if $wgCreateUserPage_OnLogin
is set to true
(the default), otherwise the check is done on every page load.
The user account to be used for user page creation can be set with $wgCreateUserPage_AutoCreateUser
which is by default the user itself for whom the page is being created.
