So, I notice some of the top contributors have the "Overview" page that appears when you click on their name display their LW wiki user page instead of the standard recent comments/posts summary (gwern, for example). Is that only for super-awesome people or is there some way to enable it that I failed to find?

[edit:] Okay, apparently patience is the key. It started working for me somewhere between 24 and 48 hours after I made the wiki page for my username.

I find this feature really damn annoying. I don't want to see people's wiki profile. If I click on the name it is because I want to see the posts and comments. It would be great if this 'feature' could be disabled.

Aw, but I wrote something relevant on mine! (Although most people don't seem to, admittedly.) I guess it'd be ideal if there were an option to enable/disable it for yourself and also to enable/disable skipping that page and going to comments when viewing.

Mine used to say that I was the same username on LW-wiki as on LW-Main, but I cleared it because it became redundant with this feature. Unfortunately I don't have rights to delete pages on the wiki, which is also mildly annoying for me if I want to look at my own comments.

Make an userpage with the same name on the wiki, for example User:Gwern.

I did! That was my first guess. Does it take some time to update or something? (It's been ~20h)
