Okay, I've redirected it for you. Enjoy! Agent #448 ^{☆ | ♥} 10:29, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Just thought I'd stop by and say hi. All these people following me here, such devotion to my cause... it brings tears of joy to my eyes just thinking about it. Hugs all around. -- Jioruji Derako.>

Because your user page and user talk page are two completely different pages. Your user page is for you to add content that you want, whereas your talk page is for people to leave you comments. You're not supposed to have it redirect, because they're not the same. --PAK Man ^Talk 14:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Is that an official policy here at Bulbapedia? Scourge 22:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I personally am not sure, but no other user does that.

As for help, first and foremost, don't redirect it to your user talk page. You can add user tags to your page by typing <div class="userbox"> and then browsing the category of User tags and choosing which ones you want on your profile. For example, if you wanted the user tag that says you would like Bulbapedia to be complete some day, simply type in {{User Pedia}} and it will appear on your user page. Be sure to also put </div> once you are done adding the user tags. If you would like me to help you build a user page, feel free to ask. Just don't redirect it, because nobody does that on Bulbapedia, or anywhere else that I can think of. But the way you have it now, with a link to your user talk page, is perfectly fine. --PAK Man ^Talk 03:28, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Well if it isn't policy why are you going around and strong-arming the changes? So far I haven't heard a valid reason for your vandalism of Anja's userpage... Scourge 12:23, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeh. Anja is quite capable of making a userpage, but in this case, she just wanted the redirect... -Auron 02:57, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I simply want to ask you, why not redirect? I wont do it for now, since it seems to be some kind of agreement somewhere that I shouldn't. But I'd really appreciate to get the arguments behind it. Anja 15:45, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Just to note, PAK Man, the practice of redirecting your user page to your talk page is generally a common one, I'm personally surprised nobody's done it here before. It's basically a way to remove a red link, as well as give other users an easy way to your talk page from your signature, without having to make a user page or make a signature. Wikipedia's policy mentions "If you would prefer not to have a user page, then it is recommended that you redirect it to your user talk page for the convenience of other editors." There's a few other large Wikis that use this as well. And just to note, Bulbapedia has no policy on userspace or redirects, at least, not on the policy page, or not in written form. -- Jioruji Derako.> 14:05, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
