How do I edit my userpage? What can I 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.
