User blog comment:Dopp/Meet More Wikians with Improved Profiles/@comment-3390396-20110726135140/@comment-3388044-20110727005905

Just to correct the 888th Avatar’s comment, Wikipedia has no problem with users having infinitely, minutely detailed user profiles. So, the only contrast between Wikia’s new profile system and Wikipedia’s is that Wikia is seeking to make it easier for users less well-versed in wikitext, wikimarkup, and HTML, whereas Wikipedia provides no such easy-to-use profile interface.
