Just a quick to note to say thanks for helping clean up the wiki.

Answer: Editing user pages
Hi, i agree fully that user pages should be a domain for the user, and not be touched. In this case I think we can make an exception as many of these pages have not been touched for over 5 years, and they clutter the "wanted pages", "wanted templates", etc. Now that I have cleaned up these deadlinks, i was able to find actually issues in the wiki that needed fixing. Without going through over 1500 errors in the special pages. (It is reduced from just under 1500 errors to just under 50)
