No permission is needed to edit userpages if the reason is to enhance Halopedia. However, if one is uncomfortable with doing so, then they can always contact the Administration or the userpage owner in question. {{User:CommanderTony/Sig|July 1st, 2011}} | :As long as the edit is of a professional nature (removing unnecessary redirect, replacing duplicate image, removing fan fiction, etc.), then you'll be just fine.

::Initially ''no one'' could edit another user's userpage. Because the list of unnecessary wanted pages was building up I contacted Porplemontage. To my recollection he changed it to allow admins to remove those links, though I don't recall if he allowed all other users to do the same. I agree with Tony that this is a necessary rule - I'm still in need of a psychiatrist from when the administration used to delete templates without delinking first... oh God, I can '' | ::Initially ''no one'' could edit another user's userpage.

In addition to checking the links for each redirect, there's something to be said about the overall purpose of redirects.
