This is a site functionality question, so I don’t know if it goes here. Why can’t I see my overview page? I mean the one with my karma and all the comments I’ve made. When I click on my username, in the top right corner or on a comment, it goes to a blank wiki page. The same thing happens for some other users, but not all of them. For some people it goes to their overview page, for some to the wiki page about them. Is there a way to get my overview page back without deleting my wiki account?
I second your question. I have no particular inclination to make myself a wiki page and so mine is blank too. I’d like it to be able to remove it entirely.
I in general find it a minor nuisance that I have an extra page load to do to reach the desired user page. I want to see the comments and posts not a profile. When I want to see interesting profile pages I’ll go to OkCupid. (I wonder how long it would take to write a firebug script that took me to the appropriate page by default.)
You can still get to your overview
page by going to your user
page and clicking “OVERVIEW”. The user pages of people who don’t have
same-named wiki accounts default to their overview pages but I don’t think
there’s a way to make yours do this, with the possible exception of deleting
your wiki account. You can of course edit your wiki page to have whatever
links you want on it.
(By the way, the mapping between LW accounts and LW wiki accounts is not
updated in real time. It’s maintained by a job that runs once a day or so.)

Thanks! I didn’t realize that’s how it worked.
