 ::: Could you say more about why you feel this way and what the ramifications are if we make the change your suggest, or if we don't? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small>
-I just realized something. User: namespace pages have extra links in the toolbox on the left side of the page "User contributions" and the always useful "E-mail this user". We lose those by using the main namespace. I suppose we '''could''' manually put up links like [[Special:Contributions/Sean Fennel]] and [[Special:Emailuser/Sean Fennel]], but I don't know if I like having to do that. I suppose the [[Wikipedia:Help:Pipe trick|pipe trick]] might help, but.... &mdash;[[Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Times New Roman;">User:Sean Fennel</span>]][[User talk:Sean Fennel|<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Times New Roman;">@</span>]] 21:15, 17 June 2006 (EDT)

-== Name conventions ==
-If this is going to be a useful wiki and not another unreadable mess using [[WikiWord]]s, you have to get rid of all habits of using names without spaces in them.  Using names in the same form as Wikipedia (that is, the same form as the article about you) is the best way.  If these people are actually users, then, they should become [[User:Mark_Dilley]] or whatever.  Freedom has limits, and naming conventions need to be rigorous for everyone...
-: This is a very clearly-stated opinion.  Thank you.  I wonder if you (don't know who) could go one step further and explain why you hold this opinion?  Obviously the people that have user pages without spaces don't find your opinion to be the obvious one.  Maybe you'll help us understand your point of view by saying more?  thanks!  [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small>
