And you can easily have that by installing the user script. :-)  For MediaWiki
core and Wikimedia wikis in particular, I think it could be trickier.

For each data point (gender, edit count, account age, user groups), we need to
figure out whether the exposure of each (and collectively) should be:

* displayed to anons and/or logged-in users;

* configurable on a per-user basis (like I can check a box to display to the
world what's known about me or disable this display on my user and user talk
pages); and

* configurable on a per-wiki basis (like an individual wiki can say to expose
this data on user pages or not).

And for each of these three bullets, I think you need to figure out what level
of granularity you want to implement. That is, you could itemize the data
points and allow users or wikis to opt in or opt out of displaying certain data
points to anonymous users or logged-in users. Or you could make it all or none.

I'm not sure whether this level of complexity is desired or warranted, but I
think it could be. I'm not clear what level of support or opposition there is
to the general idea of profiling users on their own user pages.
