First and hopefully uncontroversial step: make user and user talk space non searchable via google etc. That will at any rate diminish the tendency to use Wikipedia as a personal web site.

Not for that reason - but David's suggestion is a Very Bad Idea. Tools for site development (eg redlink lists) naturally reside in userspace, and we should care about editors finding them.
