Add clarifying sentence
- This is a [link to my user page](https://meta.codidact.com/users/53890). The URL is:
- ```text
- https://meta.codidact.com/users/53890
- ```
- This is a [link to **your** user page](https://meta.codidact.com/users/me). The URL is:
- ```text
- https://meta.codidact.com/users/me
- ```
- Note that the URL ends with `me` rather than a user id. This is useful when referring to the user page in a Meta post. I don't know who is reading the post, but I can still provide you with a link to your own user page. Provided you are signed in, the `me` in the URL will be automatically converted to your own user id.
- Similarly, I can link you to search results relevant to your own user id rather than a fixed user id. For example, [your answers in the last month](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/search?search=user%3Ame+created%3A%3C1mo+post_type%3A2) can be found with the following search term:
- ```text
- user:me created:<1mo post_type:2
- ```
- ## Extending this to tabs on the user page
- I've noticed that this does not work for links to more specific parts of the user page.
- This is a [link to the Activity tab of my user page](https://meta.codidact.com/users/53890/activity). The URL is:
- ```text
- https://meta.codidact.com/users/53890/activity
- ```
- This is what I would like to be a [link to the Activity tab of **your** user page](https://meta.codidact.com/users/me/activity). The URL is:
- ```text
- https://meta.codidact.com/users/me/activity
- ```
- However, this currently goes to a 404 error page as this has not yet been implemented.
- I would like to see links with `me` work for all of the publicly visible tabs of the user page:
- - Activity
- - Vote Summary
- - All Communities
- I would also like to see them work for the private tabs of the user page, that other users cannot see:
- - Account
- - Edit
- - Preferences
- - Filters
- - Notifications
- For these, I cannot link to my own version of them as you will not be able to see them (being private). The only way for me to provide a link to one of them when discussing them in a Meta post would be to link to yours, by using `me` in the URL. I would like to see this become possible.

Personalised links using "me" are useful. I'd like to see more
