User:Neko/User Page Guide For DEM Members

Starting Off

The first thing you will need to do is to create an account on the wiki. When you are loged in to your account, you will see your account's name as a link at the top right of the page (e.g. I'm called Neko so along the top it says 'Neko'). Clicking on the link will take you to your user page. Your user page is your own personal space - under normal circumstances no one but you will add, edit or change anything in your space (except your user talk page which is used by others to leave you messages). You can do almost whatever you want as long as it does not go against the UD wiki rules.

You can also create user sub-pages. This guide is one: it's still part of my user pages as it has User:Neko at the start name of the page (User:Neko/User Page Guide For DEM Members). There's no limit on the number of sub-pages you can have, as long as you don't go crazy with it. Some people create a sub-page for each character they own on UD or to write journals on. Others use create sub-pages to create or test out new or very long and complicated coding. I've created a sub-page as guide to DEM members want to know how to make userpages!

Getting Ideas

So now that you have an account and you know how to reach your userpage. So what are you going to put on your userpage? Well looking at what other DEM members have done is a good place to start:

Other places to have a look at what other users have done would be the User Hub or the complete list of users which is found on the Special:User List page (note that this will literally ever user on UD wiki).

Copy & Editing

If you are new to wiki language then typing codes from scratch can be a long and daunting prospect - you will properly find it taking forever and that one mistake could make the whole coding work. The best thing for yous to do is to instead copy and paste codes from other pages, add them to your page, then just edit / change the colours, sizes, images, info etc. Click the 'Edit tab at the top of the page, scroll down till you find the piece of code you want, then copy and paste it.

By the same token, do not be surprised or mad if someone copies your codes one day - and if you do edit anything outside your userpages do expected your work to have been changed in some way. Everything you write on the wiki is considered to be 'free' and hence others can copy, edit or delete it (the last two do not apply to user pages). This is stated at the butttom every time you do to edit something:

I didn't quite like the others ones so I created my own which I use for myself. Feel free to copy the coding below but because it's not in a template format you'll have to manually change the values of it. Still, this is a good opportunity to practise the 'copy and edit' style - you can change the colours, sizes and even the text to your liking.
