Board Thread:Support Requests - Getting Technical/@comment-25163648-20140922180029

I just talk about the "top part", i.e. the common part of my profile:
 * Profiles in my wiki (edited) is shown with full information: http://v-freedive.wikia.com/wiki/User:ComputerBoy --> OK;
 * Profiles in Community Central was empty --> surprise! (Against the common sense that anyone, event newbie, has a place in the public community.) --> Check help docs... "The top part of your profile will only show your information if you have edited on that wikia." --> OK, maybe the privacy concern etc. but I don't see clearly the rationale. --> Instead of leaving blank entries, the template should say "Make a contribution to this wikia to have your information show here..." or something like that. --> A DESIGN FLAW. And more seriously, when I clicked "edit", those entries in the editing form were blank --> I entered new but different info --> Those different info are updated back to my common profile which changed all the shown profiles on other wikis --> Real BUG! <-- Because those entries are common through out the wikis, they must always present at least in the editing form so that the user can see that he/she is changing/updating info, not to be confused with adding new info.
 * Again, as I hop into a random new wiki, I can still make my (top) profile info shown just by re-entering those info, even though that profile still says that I have 0 edit, eg. http://psiepsilon.wikia.com/wiki/User:ComputerBoy --> Against the rule "0 edit = no personal info shown" ==> Must change that "info hiding" rule OR count my profile edit to be a contribution and increase my edit count.

Hope the tech staff will fix this bug soon. Enjoyed them all, though! Good luck Wikia!
