Ok, so some users are allowed links on their user page and some are not. The point I was trying to drive home, which I think you may have possibly missed, is that nowhere on the Git wiki does it say that user pages cannot be used in such a way. Nor is there any mention that using *enabled* features such as reaching an admin via their talk page will get them banned for life. > As for the other two user pages: I was not sure about them, so I left > them, even if I don't believe that they should live at the primary source > for information about Git. Then why aren't these features disabled, if using them will result in an infinite ban (which is a little bit too strong, no?) from the Git wiki? Valeo
