So, I'm thinking it would be kind of useful to have two special pages:
Special:Myuserpage and Special:Myusertalk.
These would just redirect to the current user's User: page and User
talk: page, respectively. If the user isn't logged in, they'd go to the
IP address User: and User talk: pages, respectively; optionally, they
could go to an error page.
Why would this be valuable? Well, it would help if one were trying to
serve the same HTML to all users so that caching is more effective.
Right now, each page served to each logged-in user has different
navigational stuff based on their user name. With a Special:Myuserpage
link, we could change:
<a href="whatever/User:Evan">My page</a>
to...
<a href="whatever/Special:Myuserpage">My page</a>
Anyways, barring objections, I'm going to implement this Special: page
and see how it works.
