Wikipedia:WikiProject User Page Help

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WikiProject Userpage Help is a WikiProject whose main goal is to assist editors with the design of their User Pages. In order for this project to succeed, we need a decent amount of editors besides the original members who are willing to assist in the designing of user pages.

[edit] General purpose

This Wikiproject was created to assist all editors, new and old, in the design of their User Pages, which will in turn help them learn the technical side of Wikipedia. As editors work on and grow this encyclopedia, many wish to experience the social and political side of this project. Many see the User Page designs by more advanced editors, and make an attempt to create their own. As they do so, many will encounter technical problems, ranging from the most simple to the more difficult. This Wikiproject is here to assist and help them along the way to building a better page, with such pages as the Do-It-Yourself advice.

Many users on the other hand have no understanding of the technical manueverings it takes to create a user page, and that is when they need more serious help. The participants of this project will also assist you to design a brand new user page, and such requests can be made on the Help Requests page. Please, just add your name, and what browser you are using, and a participant will help with your userpage. Participants are encouraged to watch the page, to see if anybody needs help.

Note: a template is available at {{User FixMyPage}} for anyone who would like their userpage improved. Placing it on your userpage will place you under Category:Wikipedians_requesting_help_improving_their_user_pages.
