From what I remember from Wikipedia-L, I thought we
were going to continue to allow subpages on personal pages and ditch them on the regular wikipedia. Are there any plans to put them back in on personal pages?
Don't know.
That would be nice.
AFAIK, as we can still use the "/" character in page titles, there never was a plan to reintroduce subpage *functionality*. But it is easy enough to to by hand: Create the subpage by clicking on a link you create on your homepage ("[[user:Magnus Manske/foobar]]"); on the "subpage", write "Back to ~~~", which will become the backlink to your homepage.
Also, when are you going to give back privileges to edit the Homepage to trusted users? I made it my responsibility to update the new language wikipedias when they came in and now I can't. I think an unprotected homepage is better than a protected homepage that only two people can edit... now that's a cabal!
Well, there was originally a "can-edit-the-homepage" cabal :-)
consisting
of about a dozen people, but they all had sysop privileges as
well, which
was, er, not to "diss" any of the people in question, maybe a little dangerous.
Were there ever any actual incidents where this was a problem? If there were, it should be made public.
It seems we're back at my "trusted" status idea, which was meant to *reduce* the "cabal" by making certain fucntions accessible to many people instead of two. Well, I guess I was ahead of my time again ;)
Y'know, I think a sensible thing to do would be to make all registered users members of a "can-edit-the-homepage" cabal, which makes
it no longer
a cabal. This would prevent almost all homepage vandalism.
That's a good idea.
Best idea, second to "trusted"...
