Last year, we [[Forum:Possible_establishment_of_a_userpage_policy|adopted]] a set of [[The_Sims_Wiki:Policy/General_Policies#Userpage_policies|policies regarding editing userpages]], especially regarding the editing of userpages by non-administrators. However, soon after the adoption of that policy, an increase in userpage vandalism led to the creation of an abuse filter which prevents all non-administrators from editing other userpages. A couple months later, I removed the block on user edits to other userpages, but later added it back once the amount of userpage vandalism spiked again.
Line 12:
::I don't have a problem having the abuse filter allow autoconfirmed users to edit other's userpages. The policy is already pretty strict about what what anyone other than the owner can do, so for now, I think we can afford to AGF on edits by autoconfirmed users.

::::I think it's a bit difficult to keep track of who edits whose userpage, and what they've modified. I think each user should take care of their own userpage, although it seems that the majority favors to allow users to edit others' userpages. I'd support to disallow anonymous contributors from editing other people's userpages without doubt, though.

:::::I am also in support of allowing autoconfirmed users to edit others' userpages. Hopefully, people with accounts can look after their own userpage and watch for vandalism by any autoconfirmed user. ~ [[User:Waikikamukow|<font color="6a2286">Waikikamukow</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Waikikamukow|<font color="00b0f4">Anyone wanna chat?</font>]])</small> 03:27, January 22, 2014 (UTC)
::::::There's a reason why I didn't request protection for my Wikipedia userpage. I wanted other users to positively help me construct the userpage, maybe fix some typos or correct a template, fix syntax, whatever. Of course, it does mean that IP editors can vandalize my page as well, but it doesn't bother me (in fact, I like it because I get free reverts from doing it). I support the decision, but I also wonder whether some users can get exceptions.

:::::::I don't really see any problem in allowing autoconfirmed users edit other users pages; at the end of the day, it is all down to a matter of trust. There should be no problem in allowing autoconfirmed users edit user pages.

==Conclusion==
The filter has been modified to allow autoconfirmed users to edit userpages. This has been tested and the filter still limits edits by unregistered contributors. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 18:14, January 28, 2014 (UTC)
