:::So if I've understood you correctly, users can use any title for their user pages, not necessarily their user name? In my opinion, it would make more sense to keep all user pages in the User namespace, since it is less confusing for newbies (who know Wikipedia or other MediaWiki wikis) and helps searching for users, since you can limit your search to the User namespace. --[[User:Denise|Denise]] 06:04, 30 May 2007 (EDT) | :::So if I've understood you correctly, users can use any title for their user pages, not necessarily their user name?

::::You are correct about naming your page and we really encourage the use of real names here. This wiki was originally intended to be as much about wiki people as it is about wiki sites and if you navigate to [[:Category:Wiki People|Wiki People]] you will see that. The path that most of us have taken is to create our personal pages in the main namespace and to redirect our user page(s) to the main namespace page. You can see that on my page, [[John Stanton]], and you can see that pictures are also encouraged. If you choose to put a picture up we will eventually generate a digital caricatures by the very talented [[Rhoda Grossman]]. To have a caricature generated make sure you have a '''<nowiki>[[Category:NeedsCharicature]]</nowiki>''' tag on your page. [[User:John Stanton|John]] 22:32, 30 May 2007 (EDT) | |||
