I guess the reason is because that team is wholly dedicated to the
Help wiki. But I think you are probably right - it makes more sense to
have the WikiTeam's details on the main wiki along with all the other
teams.

The Beginner's team pages should certainly be moved.

User pages are useful on the help wiki because MoinMoin linkifies
those people's names (for example in the "last edited by" section at
the bottom of pages) where they have a user page available. The
problem is that the Ubuntu community has multiple wikis (not to
mention the Launchpad wikis and Canonical specific wikis) and the user
base is not integrated between them. This has led to people setting up
a user page on more than one wiki.

Ideally, Moin would be tweaked so that usernames would link to the
user's Launchpad page. I'm not too sure about the state of Moin <->
Launchpad integration at the moment, so I'm cc:ing Andrew Bennetts and
Matthew Nuzum for any comments.
