Hi Ciz,

Of course the problems with overwriting existing content would be
fixed if this was going out on any real wikis, but the test wiki is
used for us to test things out too, so I hope you don't mind seeing
some new things there occasionally.

I think it won't continually edit your userpage if you you don't
revert it. I expect it won't stay this way for long, so you just need
to visit your talk page once before you leave the wiki to remove the
"you have new messages" notification.
