[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T173145: Global users should be Wikibase items on Meta

Bugreporter added a comment. If structured data are added to global user pages, we probably need to make a page possible to not have a main slot (as not everyone have a user page). It might also be possible to delete only some specific slots. TASK DETAIL

daniel added a comment. I don't quite get the rationale behind this. There seems to be an idea that Wikibase is the preferred mechanism for storing structured data in MediaWiki. That's a bit off. Wikibase is a knowledge modeling tool. It's a good choice if you want to enable users to freely make
