:I have been thinking about this recently. My main reason for using the article namespace is because my user page is actually my in-game character's page, so I thought it unfitting to have my character's page in the user namespace. So really, this page could be split, one page in the user namespace, and one normal page for the character. Does this sound good?

lol, I think this was "fast reply", I do not expect anyone to drop in daily or something. I am just here now a lot because my account is new and want to learn more about wiki usage/ internals<br>

Hm, maybe a solution for you could be dividing your userpage with subpages - one for yourself, one for your character ?

So user : Ryan Hoots would be whatever you want to display first and foremost, but contain a link (at the top or whereever) to ''"the other side of Ryan Hoots"'' ?

I just tried to do this (very rough draft style) on my userpage, so you can take a look at the idea. :) [[User:Snork|Snork]] 18:46, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

I've officially abandoned the Oolite BB, so don't look for me there anymore. If you want to get a message to me, leave one here. I'm still going to release OXPs, too. I have a couple of real good ones in progress.

Article Namespace vs User Namespace

Well, your choice, but that is no reason to have your userpage in the article namespace. Please move this page to user:RyanHoots and delete the then-here-autocreated redirect. It's up to you to then fix any broken links.
Your "dislike for the user namespace" to me is no valid reason for sneaking your userpage into the article namespace. If I call category:Oolite then that is because I want to find something about Oolite, not about this or that user. Even Aegidian is found at user:Aegidian. well, ... --Snork 18:44, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
