What's the policy on User pages in the wiki? Can I write my own for the sake of people having a reference when they reply to my posts, or are they only for somewhat accomplished contributers?

I can't imagine any reason why it would be a problem to make a User page. Go ahead.

I haven't seen any sort of policy articulated. I just sort of went for it, and haven't gotten any complaints yet. Personally, I'd love to see more people with wiki user pages, since the LW site itself doesn't have much in the way of profile features.

My default assumption has that been unless otherwise stated, all the norms and conventions of Wikipedia apply to the LW wiki. En, at least, lets you have one for any reason you want.
