Sure, people shouldn't be editting your user: page anyway, but that can be dealt with on the watchlist like anything else (and a lot of people have multiple user sub-pages they want to track in this way). And while it might be a message, it might just be someone fiddling, or even editting twice to remove something when they realised it was in the wrong place. That's just my opinion, though, and not that strongly held, to be honest. Wouldn't it make more sense to have this as a *per-user* preference, even if the default were set from LocalSettings.php? I don't think this is really an administrative decision so much as, well, a preference... ;) But obviously, that's more complex, and if most people would feel this to be an improvement, then letting the site admin turn it back off would be fine. -- Rowan Collins BSc [IMSoP]
