How do I edit my userpage? What can I add?
I want to edit my userpage and add or create something to make it more unique. Where should I do this? Where is my user page? Is there anything I can or cannot add?

In general, your userpage should only have content about yourself as it pertains to Wikipedia, however some information about your interests is fine.
Things to add
- Student tag: One of the most important things to have on your page is the tag that identifies you as a student enrolled in an educational class, as it helps other editors know who you are.
Things you should not add (Find the full list here.)
- Personal information: Anyone can see your userpage, so do not list where you live, go to school, or your contact information.
- Copyrighted content: Just as with articles, your userpage should not contain anything taken from another source unless they are in the public domain or were licensed with a Creative Commons license.
Content that harasses another person.
A note of caution: you should never edit another person's userpage without permission.
How to find and edit your userpage
- Enter your username in the search bar (User:Shalor (Wiki Ed)).
- OR click your username at the top right hand portion of the page. Make sure you're logged in or you won't see it!
- Once at your userpage, click "edit" to begin editing as you would any other type of page on Wikipedia.
