ALL POSTSVote on linking a Wiki members user page on their user articles.
<p>So because this has been a recent issue with someone wanting it to be unlinked, I'd figure we'd have a vote on it. We'd still link the user's page to the article as a default, but if the user requests it gets unlinked, THEN we would change it. :P
</p><p>So should we let users choose to take off the link to their wikia user page on their user article if they desire?
</p><p>A: Yes, regardless of the reason: 13
</p><p>B: Yes, but only if it';s a legitimate reason, not just "I don't like it there.": 16
</p><p>C: No:
</p>

<p>Yes, but only if it's a legitimate reason.

<p>B. If someone really truly doesn't want it linked for a legitamte reason, then sure, I guess. But I hosestly don't see why people would care, at all. And besides, it's info I feel relates to the articles, so it shouldn't be taken off if someone just feels like it, if that makes sense.

<p>A), much less of a headache for everyone involved if we allow everything...

<p>A. I'd be tempted to say B and force a legitimate reason, but then we'd need to clarify what constituted a legitimate reason, and, honestly, I think we should just respect it if for whatever reason they don't want it linked. "I don't like it" is reason enough. :P

<p>B, but wouldn't the "wiki member" category need to be removed as well?

<p>If I remember correctly, Template:User automatically adds the category when the userpage is added, and removes it if it is taken away, so yes.
