68kMLA Wiki:User page
From 68kMLA Wiki
In wiki parlance, a user page is an article outside the thoughtspace of the wiki itself, primarily for two purposes. One, to give editors a "scratch" area to develop articles and try out wiki technology before dabbling in the main namespace, and two, for editors to set up a small "about me" page that engenders a sense of community in the wiki. A collection of fun templates have been created for the latter.
Subpages
Unlike in the main namespace, in the user space the MediaWiki software treats "/" characters as hierarchy divisions. This allows you to set up and organize "areas" for different projects you may be working on.
A common use of subpages on computer hobbiest wikis like 68kMLA is for articles detailing the computers in that user's collection. A template has been developed for this purpose, and you are encouraged to use it.
