Hi Merrystar!

I've been seeing posts by you on a wiki I'm a member of and I have a question that I didn't want to post there. Recently, a friend of mine on that wiki edited my profile page and she not only did this without my knowing about it but she also deleted content she shouldn't have and screwed up a table format. She is the only person who has edited my profile besides me and I let her know that I would prefer to be the only editor on my page and that moving forward she should leave me a message on my wall should she ever feel something on my profile needs to be changed. I consider this resolved and not a case of vandalism.

But I seem to recall it used to be that users could only edit their own profiles (except possibly for site admins and higher). Is that no longer true? Or is this a setting that can be changed at either a site-wide level for all user profiles or at a personal level for one's own profile? If I have the ability to protect my own profile, can you let me know how I do that? If I can't do it for just my own and if it has to be done site-wide by an admin instead, I'll take it up with them but would like to know how they would go about it, just in case they don't already know. I'm hoping this level of protection is separate from overall site protection (i.e. wouldn't affect the ability to edit articles) and that protecting member profiles in this way wouldn't be consider against the Fandom policy disallowing large volume page protection.

I looked for an answer in the Help files here but didn't find an answer. Thanks for your help.
