User blog comment:Dopp/Meet More Wikians with Improved Profiles/@comment-3273232-20110726132539/@comment-1656630-20110726165555

btw, the new profile system will be similar to that: admins can edit other users' profile content (the lower-half content, at least), but other users can't. admins won't be able to edit the top section, though, since that content is Wikia-wide. (staff/helpers/vstf can, though.)
