I can see the benefits of linking directly to the pages. How about allowing users to help by suggesting pages to point to? If a “fan page” for the entry exists, why not afford users to opportunity to point to it instead of a community page?

There are a whole bunch of community pages that are dormant because of this.

Ultimately, I'd say the benefits will outweigh the somewhat odd interactions from the user perspective. It would be nice to be able to “disable” the functionality, though, and return a profile to it's previous state.

Glad I'm not the only person who finds the new info sections a bit odd.
