We tried to blog on Mediawiki with limited success... Then we installed
WordPress and never looked back - software designed for blogging is far
easier than trying to stuff a solution into Mediawiki.

Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki as a blog?
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

(and perhaps code a patch for, even if not to be included in the main

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..
