Extension:UserPageEditProtection/de-formal

The UserPageEditProtection extension restricts user page edit to the owner of the page (the user) and users assigned to groups that have user page edit access through $wgGroupPermissions. This effectively provides users with a group of protected pages, since this protection extends to any subpages of the user page (i.e., User:Hoggwild/sandbox1).
