Sorry I couldn't attend today. Here's some stuff I dug from

* UserName => User:username ... ouch
- anything we can do with mod_rewrite?
- some of these pages are well indexed and referenced
- any reason we cannot migrate all the wiki/UserName to an equivalent
wiki/UserName and let people source that to fill out their User:username
page.
- I understand that User:foobar has special meaning in MediaWiki and
agree it is worth the hassle for those who want the functionality; do we
have to force the feature on them and break their URLs?
Ah, forgot one thing, when you move a page in mediawiki I think it
auto-forwards the old page. So after someone moves something, it'll
redirect properly.
