Describe the feature you'd like
It will be good if an user could have a field to describe itself for others pedsons

An use case scenario it will be when you have an internal wiki website where the employees can share some behaviour information about itself, what they do, how they work, personality, etc.

maybe, there already exists a workaround? e.g. a way to cite parts of the user page on another page as described here: https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/user/reusing-page-content ? The other page could then be the "public" user page within the community.

For a full wiki feeling I'd suggest in addition to a profile description field on the user page to make the user pages more accessible by

showing the user list as a book in BookStack (to be activated by admin)
linking from the editor name in column "editor" on "version" pages to the user page
providing the users with a simple way to create a signature, e.g. by a button in the text editor.

So far my wishlist. I know it's not Christmas. ;-)
Best, Thomas

Since there's been little further demand for this I'm going to go ahead and close it off.
If really needed, it could be possible via a visual theme system customization to look up to a certain book, where users could create their own page with some profile information, then display that in the profile view.
Thanks for the original request though @fabiofeichtinger
