Question from AikoBluey Wizard on User:AikoBluey Wizard (08:32, 22 July 2023)

Hello, I am AikoBluey Wizard. I am wondering about what could I include about myself for my userpage. Since, I'm new to this, I don't know how or what to include.

Your regards, AikoBluey Wizard --AikoBluey Wizard (talk) 08:32, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi @AikoBluey Wizard - welcome! The best place to start is having a read of: Wikipedia:User pages. There's a great deal of variety on what editors include on the user page, but much of it relates to their interests in relation to Wikipedia and their areas of work. Editors often include skills they may have (eg languages, training, experience, qualifications) which inform their editing; many editors also use userboxes to identify these (and lots of other things!). For a new user just indicating that you are a new user can be helpful. Personally, I would advise against including personal information that could allow identification (eg names or photos), but there are editors that are comfortable doing so. Hope this is helpful, feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 22:37, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Also @AikoBluey Wizard this video shows how to create your user page (from the 2 minute mark). Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 22:41, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the tips and the video as well. This helps so much.
