I edited/added images and managed bots (generating edit rankings and other) in many Wikipedias. I didn't spammed anything, just had to create the redirect userpages years ago because MediaWiki didn't offered anything better.
Indeed. I briefly looked at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Emijrp and places where there are three edits seem to be creating a soft redirect template, soft-redirecting your user page, and soft-redirecting your user talk page.
If you don't know about the case, shut up.
I know a bit! :-) We should not be antagonizing each other. I really respect and appreciate the work that you do across Wikimedia. Spam is a pretty loaded term and it was in poor form to use it here. I apologize.
Certain users are in a funky situation currently where, using a bot or browser tabs, they've created dozens or hundreds of user pages that now preempt a global user page. We definitely considered this scenario, but ultimately this practice of creating many local user pages was never considered supported. It was tolerated because of the lack of global user pages and now we face a reconciliation with past acts. (Or not... retaining local user pages doesn't really harm much.) If you or anyone else wants help getting rid of these local user pages, there are volunteers at Meta-Wiki who would be happy to offer assistance.
