:teoli Can you clarify what you want to edit in the profile? You said you want to be able to edit the profile data and that the Django admin UI would be enough. Would adding a link to the admin page of that profile to each profile page suffice to fix this bug?

We need to be able to edit all field that a user can edit: they can use each of them to spam like the link above.

This include
* Name
* Title
* Organization
* Location
* IRC nickname
* About me
* Interests
* Website
* Twitter
* Github
* StackOverflow
* LinkedId
* Mozillians
* Facebook
(and any future free-text fields)

Re/ Django: I meant that I don't care if I have to go to this interface or if it is on the MDN itself.

Understood, since the website data is stored in a JSON field and the Django admin doesn't have a sensible UI widget for that structured data (which would mean you'd have to edit JSON manually), I would suggest to simply allow admins to also edit profile data in the usual place (e.g. /en-US/profiles/jezdez/edit).
