This is pretty wikitech, but e.g. on a user page, say there's a link to [[mind control]]. I don't want that to default to [[user:mind control]].
Ah, ok. That might be a good point, although I myself wouldn't mind it.
The
other side of the coin is that I now have to type [[user:Jan Hidders/Sandbox]] instead of [[Jan Hidders/Sandbox]].
But you wouldn't have to do that if subpage functionality were turned on for the user pages. Then all you'd have to type is [[/Sandbox]].
True. But if I'm thinking of future namespaces such as "stable" I'd prefer a consistent behaviour over all namespaces. It is in my experience important that the behaviour of the system is governed by a few clear and simple rules with as little exceptions as possible. It not only makes it easier to build a correct implementation, but also makes it easier to explain to the user.
There's no need to keep users from conflicting with themselves; it's just a matter of fixing the way timestamping is handled. It shouldn't be browserside.
Both the begin-time and the commit-time of the edit are determined server-side at the moment. As I said, changing the behaviour would probably mean that a user never conflicts with him or herself.
