I am liking the emerging convention of having a front level [[:Category:Namespace|namespace]] attached to a link to you [[WikiIndex:Talk Pages for Wiki People|user talk page]].

: It's a little unusual though actually. The conventional convention :-) on [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] sites, is to have user pages under the '[[User]]' namespace. It's less easy to link to, which I guess is why you're preferring the [[CamelCase]] [[ | : It's a little unusual though actually.

: The advantage is that [[user page]]s are separate from other [[article]]s. This is handy if the wiki gets big, or if people are allowed to use nicknames, which might then get confused for real articles. It's essential on big wikis such as [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], but might also be useful here, since we have quite a lot of obscure page names in the main namespace, even without user nicknames muddled in. I think for those of us using real names, it's less of an issue, but the question is, should we tell all new joiners to do it this way? Setting up the [[redirect]]s is a little messy too -- [[User:Harry Wood|Harry Wood]] 15:16, 29 Jan 2006 (EST) | : The advantage is that [[user page]]s are separate from other [[article]]s.
