A user script to replace your username at the top of the screen with the generic string User page. Useful for paranoid editors who don't want people looking over your shoulder to see your Wikipedia username. Note that it sometimes takes the browser a second or two to load and execute user scripts, during which interval your real username will briefly be visible, so this script should not be considered foolproof.
