: The idea on this wiki is that the main namespace is for all things wiki. Wikis themselves clearly are on-topic, as are articles about wiki concepts or wiki trends or whatever. Wiki people are also on-topic. So while User:Singkong2005 is an editor here, Chris is an actual person in the wikiworld, and that means a main namespace article on you is appropriate, and it can also serve as your userpage, since you're the same person.

We're not so formal here as to have "policy" but active contributors meet every week or so to talk issues over. So far, we're all in agreement that wiki people should have articles. [[WardCunningham]], for example. While we prefer that people use their name as their username, that's not policy, it's preference. So, the policy is for people with names to be in the main namespace, and those without to be in the user namespace. You're right that this is different here. Mediawiki evolved or projects where users were different from articles. Here we are the same. :-) Thanks! [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 02:31, 4 September 2006 (EDT) | |||

should be fixed now - it was a bug in a plugin and I didn't know how to fix it - thanks!
