Set up an account on the Wiki, with the same name as your LessWrong account. Then make a user page for it. After a day, LW will automatically use that to make your profile page. (Thanks to gwern for informing me about this.)

Thank you. I'm just creating http://wiki.lesswrong.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=User:Gunnar_Zarncke and hope that it will get linked to http://lesswrong.com/user/Gunnar_Zarncke/

Indeed. Now it works. There definitely was no warning or anything related.
