You can make your user page as simple or as complicated as you like. You can add formatting or colour with [[Help:Editing|wiki markup]] or with HTML, or leave it plain and simple. You can also add [[Help:Images|pictures]], either a picture of yourself, one that expresses something about you, or just one you like. However, all pictures added to {{SITENAME}} must be [[{{SITENAME}}:Copyrights|free-use]].

==Editing user pages==

User pages are still wiki pages, so they are open for everyone to edit. Most people will ask before making major changes to someone else's user page though. Small changes, like formatting fixes or spelling corrections, are absolutely fine, and can be done freely - it's always nice to find your user page improved.
