:I used a soft redirect on the user page because this is the custom elsewhere; people often want to get to the special toolbox pages you describe when clicking on a username. I have added a user information box to the external links section, similar to that used on WikiFur, and converted the soft redirect to a hard one. I don't like the idea of redirecting the talk page, as I feel there should be a separation between the discussion of the article vs. conversation with the user, but I have added a header in case people go there hoping to talk with me. I had already added the page GreenReaper to my watchlist, including changes to the talk page. If you didn't know about the option to email on watched page changes, it's in [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]. [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]] 13:58, 13 November 2009 (EST)

::I know and use the notification service for watched pages and I'm watching on what ever I can. You are fully right: hard redirects are not better than the soft ones. I just wanted to inform you about this wikiindex thing, use it if you like it. Best :-) --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 14:42, 13 November 2009 (EST)
