Yes, there is, and that's the problem.  Imagine if instead of copying
the Features/EmptyTemplate, every fifth incoming feature owner just
put their content right in to EmptyTemplate, thinking it was the page
they needed to write in to.  That is the problem that is happening on:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Your_FAS-username

... take a look at the history to see.  The traffic all seems to come
from here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Join

It doesn't show in the 'What links here' page because it's a FQDN link
rather than an internal link.
