The points I made reflect the majority of cases to do with user page extensions on this wiki. User page extensions have not been banned either, but with the space granted to every user to do with as they please, their user page, there is no practical need to split content, such that it becomes incredibly difficult for us staff to regulate, where user pages are already rather unregulated. We offer user page extensions as an option where indeed it would be impractical to include such content on one's profile. In your case, an old profile does not comply in that regard (however, you can freely utilise tabbers and toggleboxes to organise this content on your main user page). But, a testing space for a proposed article layout restructure, yes, that would necessitate a separate page where no other pages on the wiki qualify to serve the purpose.

The policy update aims to improve the wiki's organisation and consequently staff's management ability. If you have a significant purpose for a user page extension, we can allow you one. If not, your profile is as ready as ever. By the way, we are having Airtoum's pages moved to a completely separate wiki. This is an example of a situation where content may not be suitable for hosting on the wiki at all due to its subject and magnitude. It's why there are numerous fan wikis. If you are more interested in sharing creative content, perhaps those may be what you're looking for.

If you need help managing anything, I'm here to help.
