Michael Peter Christen b1380c4a9f cleaned up user authentication
this removes the userDB-exception in the normal
authentication process which affected mostly wiki
and blog which are not required any more. We also
cleaned up translation messages as this function was
not used at all. This is a required step forward
a renovation of the jetty server.

# Virtual File System
## Purpose
Virtual File System exposes files stored in YaCy's virtual storage.
Use it to inspect or manage stored file-like content.
## What You Can Do Here
- Virtual File System exposes files stored in YaCy's virtual storage.
- Edit or inspect the specific content object shown on the page.
- Check whether the result is local-only, user-visible, or peer-visible before publishing.
## Page Architecture
Content application pages store and render peer-local objects such as bookmarks, messages, tables, profiles, or translations. They combine form editing with a rendered view of the stored object.
## Correct Use
Edit content deliberately and check the rendered page after saving. For shared or peer-visible features, assume written content may be read by someone else unless the page clearly says otherwise.
## Access And Safety
The page is normally public or read-only, unless the peer is configured to require authentication for all pages.
## Automation And API
Page backend: `source/net/yacy/htroot/VFS.java`.
No request parameters are needed for normal use of this page.
## What To Expect
Expect stored or rendered content: a message, page, table row, bookmark, profile, translation, or file view. After changes, reload or revisit the object to confirm what was actually saved.
## Related Pages
- Related content work usually continues on the matching bookmark, message, table, translation, vocabulary, or file page.
