User page

From Wikimedia Belgium

All Wikimedia users can have a private user page in the User namespace of any project. This is a safe place where you can present yourself.

You can keep it simple: "I am a Wikipedian", or you can publish a resume, including links to your (favourite) projects.

Instances

[edit]

You can do this on several places:

Depending on the platform, you can publish specific content, and choose the language.

You can better create a user page on Meta, and optional dedicated user pages on selected platforms.

Languages

[edit]

Please add the following code, e.g. {{#Babel:nl|en-5|fr-3|de-1|vls-2|es-1}} to indicate your language knowlegde. So others can choose a "common" language to communiate with you.

Policy

[edit]

Other users are not allowed to write on your user page. All users have a talk page, like any other page types, where others can communicate with you. For performance reasons, you should archive talk pages, e.g. rename as a subpage once per year. The user namespace can't have categories.

You can have talk pages, even if your user page does not exist.

You can create a hierarchy of subpages, as a working place, for your own pending projects.

You are the owner of all those pages. You can request the removal of any (sub)page in your account, at any time.

Privacy

[edit]

You can personally decide what details you share. All history is archived, like for any other page.

Please take privacy seriously. Don't publish private information that you don't want to share. It is not mandatory to have a user page.
