User page

I would like access to edit my user page to remove the link to my Wikipedia user page.--The One, The Only... Chocolate Chip! (talk) 23:07, 16 December 2015 (EST)

Because of the calmed situation, all user pages' protection has been removed. However if something happens, the corresponding page will be protected again. Morpheus (talk) 23:25, 16 December 2015 (EST)
Something happened again. Some spammer created a spam page, and redirected my user page to it, and also spammed my talk page.--The One, The Only... Chocolate Chip! (talk) 19:42, 18 December 2015 (EST)
I am aware of the situation. My talk page, Build a PC, List of recommended GNU/Linux software and Programming languages were affected too. Most damages have been reverted, fortunately. —Morpheus (talk) 20:00, 18 December 2015 (EST)

Redirects

I think that when a new page is made, a redirect should automatically be made for common spellings, such as Script kiddie also redirecting to script kiddie and Script Kiddie, and possibly the plural Script kiddies and all its subforms. I believe Wikipedia does this as well. --The One, The Only... Chocolate Chip! (talk) 16:44, 7 January 2016 (EST)

I believe that Wikipedia have *tons of* bots that do the automation, or that Wikipedia uses a plug-in for that.  Morpheus talk 20:07, 7 January 2016 (EST)

Banned

Was autobanned yesterday for a day, for 'sharing an IP address' with a banned user called freiya something. Pretty odd.

As far as I concerned, there's no block logs for User:Galactus, do you have any screenshots?  Morpheus talk 07:20, 13 January 2016 (EST)
Nope, check for Freiya something. It claimed I was autobanned for a day for sharing that person's IP. — Galactus (talk) 07:27, 13 January 2016 (EST)
I've double–checked the IP logs, and see that there are no IP similarities between you and anyone in blocklist.  Morpheus talk 08:53, 13 January 2016 (EST)

Collapsible blocks of text

Does this exist? Not too familiar with wikipedia's software and its myriad of modules so I figured I'd ask here since it would be nice to have and make for VASTLY tidier/neater articles, and it'd also lessen the amount of scrolling required.

Persistent up/down arrows would also be a nice addition, but that'd require more than just a wiki template.

MediaWiki has mw:Extension:JSpoiler and mw:Extension:Spoilers. But, I highly doubt that this will make the article neater. I think the guides is enough, it referenced the ArchWiki for formatting so it can be readable (Well, Arch has one of the best docs, after all).
For your second addition, I think a regular browser's scrollbar would be enough.  Morpheus talk 12:33, 4 February 2016 (EST)
