Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Anti-harassment/Allow all registered users the right to semi-protect their own user and talk pages/Proposal

  • Problem: Vandals, and other disruptive users, sometimes maliciously edit the user and talk pages of individual users who have reported them or otherwise dealt with them. Those who are administrators have the ability (and some of us have used this) to semi-protect their personal pages. But users without this right must ask for it to be done, which can lead some of them (I think) not to do it at all because they may not want to wait, and may be afraid their request would be denied.
  • Proposed solution: Allow registered users past a certain number of edits the right to semi-protect their user and talk pages as they see fit.
  • Who would benefit: All users, as it would really make for safer personal space for everyone.
