@PiscesKazeMGR Hi, is there any reason why you can't use AuthorProtect? Unless I'm missing something it's the same principle.

I think my members should have a separate area for them to describe themselves; At the same time, if the user who created the user page is not the corresponding user, they would still have "author" permission, which means they could prevent the corresponding user from editing their own User: page.

Anyway, for faster progress, I will show you the differences between AP and UPEP.

@PiscesKazeMGR I see. There is also an easier option which would be to set a Special:AbuseFilter with the following configuration and set to disallow:

(
 article_namespace == 2 &
 !user_name == article_text &
 !"/" in article_text &
 !"sysop" in user_groups
)

Let me know if this would work, otherwise the extension can be reviewed and potentially be added.

Nope. It failed. I have created another account and test if it work, but nothing happened.
I guess you would need to install the extension manualy, do you? '_'

@Reception123 Does the AuthorProtect extension even work on Miraheze? I've been thinking for some time we should consider uninstalling it, since I believe the issue is it requires a separate editauthorprotected restriction level from being added to each wiki (which we can't do, at least not easily, in ManageWiki. I haven't been able to get it to work on testwiki, at least not without an LS.php change.

Not sure on the functionality differences, but UserPageEditProtection does seem to be a simpler, better extension than AuthorProtect, so I'd 👍 uninstalling AuthorProtect and installing UserPageEditProtection (after a security review, of course)

Great idea, Dmehus.
I was thinking so much about why did that extension even exist '_'
