All logged-in users have a user page. (For example, if your login name is "MyNick", your user page will have the title "MyNick".) You can find your user page with the link at the top right of every page, or by following this link. Most people use user pages to give information about themselves and their interests and keep links to useful things.
You can make your user page as simple or as complicated as you like. You can add formatting or color with wiki markup or with HTML, or leave it plain and simple. You can also add pictures, either a picture of yourself, one that expresses something about you, or just one you like. Remember though, that all pictures added to WikiBound must be free-use.

Content
You may not use your user page for any content that is prohibited on WikiBound. This includes copyright violations, pornography, excessive advertising, promotion of illegal activities, and hate speech. This is mostly common sense. Please try to make larger changes at one time, instead of multiple smaller edits. Using "Show Preview" to observe changes before saving them is highly encouraged.
While users are free to create, edit, and update their user page, be aware that WikiBound is not a social networking site. Users should not only be using WikiBound to edit their user page, and violations of this may lead to blocks.
Editing user pages
User pages are still wiki pages, so they are open for everyone to edit. It is considered extremely rude to edit another user's page without the user's request, however, and such edits may be reverted.
