I don't think they can do that but I might be wrong. Actually *I* would love to see a new level of protection added to Protect. One which protects User Pages from all but that User and Admins. It would be User/User_Talk/Blogs namespaces only (what is the diff between User_Blogs and Blogs? I thought they were the same), and should only be for cases of edit-warring and vandals (I have one wiki in which the entire community feels free to edit, revert, and remove things from User Pages. Hard to curb them from doing it)

But that may be worthy of its own thread. You could just make a policy against editing user pages without said user's permission and enforce it with warnings and blocks. Seems to work fine on wikis I'm on. Plus some people get help from others on complex codes so it might be over kill to do something like that. Guess it's an option though since user blogs have that feature, though it's not really a protection setting.

Plus, there are users who clean up bad links, incorrect categories and stuff. User page vandalism of the hate kind is generally so rare that a revert and a block is sufficient.
