I’d argue that this is not really a good use case for a wiki and it would be very very anti-wiki to allow users to do that as it would scatter knowledge very easily. You’ll see plenty of users doing islands of knowledge that they share with only some collegues. It’s always easier to share content with one person than with many, and people will use the path of least resistance, transforming the wiki into a mail system or a forum, with knowledge scattered and inaccessible…
Thus, if that feature was ever to be developed (personal pages), I think it should not be part of the core and not promoted (ie it should live in an extension).
I think it’s one, if not the main reason why XWiki doesn’t have personal pages, after 20+ years of development. It’s not really a good feature for a wiki. OTOH an Admin can decide to create some special sections of the wiki accessible only to some users/groups and that’s a conscious/architectural decision, not something decided by every user without concertation. So it’s good that it requires an admin to do it IMO.
WDYT?
