Set $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit to true to allow blocked users to edit their talk pages (so that they can request unblocking, for example). This will add a "Editing their own talk page" checkbox on Special:Block, unchecked by default (see Manual:Block and unblock ). If it's set to false, the checkbox disappears.
