User blog comment:Dopp/Giving User Profiles Some Love/@comment-876022-20110707040431

Sometimes it takes hundreds of edits to make a user page. Sometimes we do a single edit and leave it at that. Some wikis have policies against creating social profiles and just keep it informative to help other users. At other times, it's that you can't do more than "x" edits a day to your profile for risk of being placed on the CVN's blacklist (fun to find out about this when there are over 165,000 [?] Wikia wikis and no emailing of said block).

In any case, I'd be adamantly against using the extension of UserProfilePage across all wikis if it comes down to that. Haven't been a fan of seeing what someone else is watching (especially own my user page) or the achievements extension (had it a whole three days on the RSW) to fill a someones user space page.

As for me, it took about a year and a half of revisions on the RSW to make it what I wanted it to be. Used that layout ever since with the occasional update to game related user stats.
