Bug ID: 48667
Summary: Output content when user exists, but there's no user
page

Splitting this out from bug 46491.
It's been pointed out that the current behavior of user pages of users who
exist, but who do not have a user page (e.g.,
<https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Red_Baron>) is a little
strange/questionable. There's a generic "this site does not have a page with
that name" error that's output, but it's perhaps more logical to output basic
info about the user (while simultaneously marking the page as "noindex").
I think this has the potential to upset some users, but it would probably be
better than the current behavior. For example, there's a garish red box that
appears for users with a deleted user page (cf.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JzG>).
