No, I'm stating that one could, if one was so inclined, use one's user page to manage such a blog, and that it would be possible to make a number of modifications to prevent ordinary users from editing any user page but their own. (Talk pages would still be freely editable)

Similar behaviour could be achieved with user pages. I would support (and perhaps code a patch for, even if not to be included in the main code) a feature whereby ordinary users can only edit their own user pages, while allowing sysops to edit other user's user pages as needed.
You're talking about the automatically-generated sub-page and backlink concepts? I'm not sure how pretty that would be.. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
