Hello!
Global user pages have now been deployed to all public wikis for users with CentralAuth accounts. Documentation on the feature is available at mediawiki.org[1], and if you notice any bugs please file them in Phabricator[2].
Thanks to all the people who helped with the creation and deployment (incomplete, and in no particular order): Jack Phoenix & ShoutWiki, Isarra, MZMcBride, Nemo, Quiddity, Aaron S, Matt F, James F, and everyone who helped with testing it while it was in beta.

Thanks for all _your_ work seeing this through the finish line as well, Kunal. This is a great first step towards better user profile support, and brings all Wikimedia wikis closer together.
Hello,
Many users have hundreds of local pages which now hide their global user page. If you're one of them, you can request the deletion of your local user pages on all wikis by Synchbot[1]. You can see a list of local user pages using a Tool Labs tool[2].
For reference, the Wikimedia-specific documentation for global user pages is on Meta[3].

This is awesome! When do we get a global language pref? ;)

You could try a hack like this: https://github.com/he7d3r/mw-gadget-GlobalPreferences

Hooray! This is so cool.

p.s. re: babel, my absolute favorite use is on Wikidata, where you can add babel templates to your userpage and then get the appropriate fields to add stuff in that language :) I love showing that to people who are getting started on Wikidata.

Kunal, Erik and All,
So great!
How will Linked Data be added to, and develop with, these interlingual Global User Pages - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:GlobalUserPage ?
Cheers, Scott
