User blog comment:MisterWoodhouse/Fandom is upgrading to a modern version of MediaWiki/@comment-3513410-20190628142003

I hope that one improvement will be that the User namespace (not the User Talk namespace) will at last be editable only by its owner (and admins of course). This might stop the particular type of vandalism we have been suffering on the DreamWorks Wiki, whereby idiotors create fake "user pages" (usually several of them in one batch). The latest one to get banned for this complained "but those pages had no content!" as if that somehow excused the action, and all the work required in cleaning up the incident.
