Subpages: always enabled in the User pages?
At Help:Subpages it says that "MediaWiki's subpage feature is turned off by default in the main namespace, but can be used on talk pages and user pages." So I wonder why it says here in Help:User_page that "If subpages are enabled, you may find them useful for creating sub pages under your user page." Am I not understanding something? Thanks.

Remove this page why?
Why did someone (User:Anonymous Dissident) decide to remove this page? It clearly fits with the goals of Project:PD help, to provide user documentation for MediaWiki software (a "User page" being an important feature which a user of MediaWiki should understand) I spent an hour or so writing the content for this page. It is my own work, which I release to the public domain. -- Harry Wood 01:06, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ahh, my apologies. I was not aware that it was being done as part of that project (which I was not aware of anyway). Sorry for that. But I must ask you - does this not seem superfluous wen there are relatievly similar pages on the same topics on Meta? This site is supposed to be for the documentation of the software. -- Anon  Diss  01:45, 11 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually I was forgetting to add the template at the top. That makes it clearer.
 * Superfluous? Well it will seem that way for some of these pages yes. A lot of these topics have written about before elsewhere (especially on meta). But we're aiming to write a bunch of pages as a nice concise bit of user help, which is released to the public domain. Unfortunately the PD requirement means we have to write about these topics again from scratch. Shouldn't be too much effort though. We're not covering the larger and more complex, server administration topics (Project:Manual)
