What about "fake" articles/mainspace copies on user pages?

Should it follow the Wikipedia guidelines? here. I think this should be included in the Guidelines section.

Here's an example: User:TheDoctor/Mirror Shield (also using a main template: Item infobox)

Personally I think they're harmless, I know that some editors such as ShadowMan44 create pages that mimic real articles to prepare for articles they think are going to be in an upcoming update. I don't see much harm in these as long as they are non-indexed. As far as I know, using main templates is also not against any rules (past or present), only categories. I believe there is also a notice in the works right now, specifically one that mentions it's a User page when you are in the User namespace.
