This task is about removing the last edited pageimage from Special:Userprofile. This task is not about Special:Userprofile in general. I ask everybody to please stay on-topic.

Special:UserProfile/<user> suggests a user profile page, which it is not currently.
If the linking to this (imho completely futile) page should not be broken, the only valid alias is the real profile page, that's User:<user>.

Why was this invented?
Who asked for it?
Where was it discussed?
Why is it named UserProfile?
What's the official purpose of this?

Remove all images and recent uploads from UserProfile

Why not just kill Special:UserProfile altogether? If it's gutted of the very little value it currently has, I don't see what sense there is in preserving what's left.

This seems to happen on dewiki, but not on enwiki, meta or zhwiki.

Here's what my "profile" looks like:

But that's exactly what it looks like, and it serves absolutely no purpose. It has nothing whatsoever to do with a profile. I wonder what stupid idiot came up with this rubbish.

For more information read Lilas Talk page or the German Kurier.

Please create an own task to ask your question. Thanks.

What's the use of this useless page anyway? It ain't my profile, not even remotely (That's my user page). It's ugly as f***, I fail to see any purpose for this "merkbefreite" (observationally challenged) page.

Okay, let's start a new discussion about that policy on Meta. A private message should be considered private information.

That seems to be the way to go to get a broader picture. Until that happened, I don't consider this task a request that should be acted on.
Hence setting task status to "stalled" and lowering the priority temporarily until discussion has taken place (link welcome!).

Yes, it's a shame the over the pond there seems to next to no grasp about privacy matters. Data nightmares like Facebook or Google are seen in a positive light despite their extreme data mining, thus privacy raping.

Anyone who mentions privacy nightmares like Facebook, Twitter, Google or such has obviously no idea of privacy at all. Facebook is the very opposite of good privacy, doing something "like Facebook" in regards of privacy is the same as doing something completely wrong.

The "Thanks" gadget is nice, the data-collection everything but nice. If such nice tool is misused for Schwanzvergleichslisten (pissing contest lists), it's extremely devaluated.

Something like this: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P199 ?
It was used for both, the first one was preview, the second one send.

I've made some screenshots about this:
