Forum:Clicking on uncreated user pages leads to the page editor

When one clicks on a redlinked user name, this leads directly to the page editor. This, to me, seems counterintuitive, if you're not the user in question, or even if you are.

Shouldn't clicking on the redlinked user name lead to the same thing that happens on redlinked user talk pages? (namely a the standard user menu, that lets you select user page, user talk, contribs, blog). A third person shouldn't be the first person to edit someone else's user page by default of a redlinked page.

 * Agreed.


 * If the link didn't redirect to the edit form, would you still want it to be red? — Sovq 09:51, December 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Don't say that! You'll give the staff ideas. :)


 * Perhaps if the category "red"links are no longer red and are no longer redirecting to the edit form, then neither should the user redlinks ::evil grin:: — Sovq 11:07, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
