Gotcha. Thanks.
And I just discovered why I came across "hidden" content on user pages while clearing out or updating TVT links. It used to be that "User:[username]" went to a regular wiki page as recently as 23 April, which is when I made my most recent edit to my own personal user page. At some point after 23 April something happened that forces the SocialProfile page to appear instead and prevents you from editing the original content. It's still there, but the Edit link just redisplays the profile page instead of opening an edit window, making it impossible to recover or change any content you may have there. Even more annoying, it overrides every link on the page history that might allow me to see the original content. (And if it's going to do that, why bother permitting me to see the history at all? It can just slap my wrist and refuse to show it like the edit page.)
So, is there any way to disable this damned thing so I can rescue the page I've spent so long working on?
