When setting a block, "Prevent account creation" is selected by default, as is 'sitewide.' However, it makes little sense for this to be a default for partial blocks.

Change 490665 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/core@master] Uncheck "create account" on Special:Block for partial blocks
I see that changing between sitewide and partial toggles the value of "Account creation", on desktop and mobile (Android), when creating a new block or editing an existing. Unless you first check/uncheck the checkbox.
Waiting for T216845 to be fixed. I would like to see is how it handles editing a block which has already set "Account creation" to a "non-default" value (i.e. a sitewide block with "Account creation" unchecked or a partial block with it checked). Is the "Account creation" checkbox considered already "interacted with"?
