Suddenly (AFAIK) I can't view any userspaces on my MediaWiki install (whether I'm logged in as Admin or not). Instead I'm getting this error:
You don't have permission to access /wiki/User:stevenarntson on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use
an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I have been doing some work in common.css and localsettings.php, but nothing that I'd think would have an effect like this.
What might be causing this behavior?

Solved this by contacting my hosting provider (Namecheap). Their instance of Apache's mod_security functionality had been triggered by those pages. The tech there whitelisted a couple of things w/r/t those pages, and the site is now functioning well.
