The sysops don't need to be on there since you can get to them from the Main Page>Administration>List of Sysops. Beyond that I think it should be listed alphabetically like Vandal Data. Users have to either add themselves or if you want a link to someone's page you add it.

I think if it gets too crowded then rules like name must be over X characters and user must have made an edit in the last X months or they get removed should be added. Permabanned vandals will be removed since they will be linked in VB/VD.--– Nubis ^NWO 02:40, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't think crouding would be too much of a problem (within reason-) the list would obviously be Ctrl-F searchable. Good point on the sysops-forgot about that. Linkthewindow  Talk  04:09, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Define 'UHUB' pleae. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 03:48, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

User Hub-simply an easily assessable list of active users on the wiki. As I said, the point was raised by Gnome in the recent deletions vote over user page redircts in the main space. Needed as insanely long usernames are a pain to type in the search bar (take DDR as an example.) Linkthewindow  Talk  04:09, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm assuming it means "User Hub", a hub being a "place where data arrives from one or more direction, and is forwarded out again in one or more other directions". Basically this would be a central page where everyone could come to find directions to other users pages -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 04:10 16 November 2008 (BST)

Sounds good. I'd make a template that automatically formatted everyone's entry, so that it's easier to add yourself, and everyone is formatted the same way. Basically, all you'd have to do to add yourself would be to type {{UHUB|Boxy}} in the correct place and you'd get "*Boxy ^talk". Perhaps even have the template timestamp the entry, so that you can easily see which are the oldest entries to check that they're still active (although this would require the template to be subst:ed) -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 04:04 16 November 2008 (BST)

Good idea. thanks for making me famous. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:24, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I think sysops should be at the higher point in the page, and other users should be in a second section. Users should have to resubmit their name (timestamp it) every month or something, similar to the Arbitrator List or Recruitment Page.
