A Compact Guide for Editors of Moegirlpedia

Moegirlpedia is more than articles. Since you've learned how to make edits, let's get to know about other users and our community.

Namespace

In general, a namespace represent the type of a page, and "namespace:page name" is the full page title. But pages at the main namespace doesn't have a prefix, where you usually see. The "main namespace", or the "article namespace", includes encyclopedic articles or indexes of Moegirlpedia. But other namespaces are prefixed, such as the entry you are looking at now, is "Help:", which represents the page is under the "Help:" namespace. Once you've completed creating your user page, you'll notice its title is prefixed with "User:", or "U:", which is the namespace of your user page and its subpages.

User page

A user page is a page provided by Moegirlpedia to introduce personal information. For example, the page name of User X could be one of the following:

• User page: User:X
• User talk page: User talk:X
• Subpage: User:X/Y or User talk:X/Y
• User namespace is the combination of them.

To create a user page, you can choose the following:

• Click your username anywhere it appears after logging in.
• Enter User:(your username) in the search bar, then search.

After doing the above, you will enter the editor. Enter content, preview and save it, and you will have your own user page.

You can play boldly as you want on that page, but just use the simple wiki syntax described in the previous chapters, as using an overly complex syntax is likely to trigger abuse filters, which can lead to the loss of edits or even a ban from the automatic vandal protection system. The more complex but interesting wiki syntax will be covered in other pages, so don't rush to move contents of articles or other user pages to your user page.

It is worth noting that your user page can be viewed by everyone (including the not registered), so please do not expose your personal privacy on the page. We recommend you only write a short self introduction on your user page for now, as excessive rhetoric may affect other people's impression on you, and please do not write content violating the policy of Moegirlpedia.

Userbox

A user box, as the name suggests, is a personal card that reflects the user's personality, and you can use it to indicate your position, preferences, and other information, so that other editors can know you better. You can go to Template:Userbox to find a user box that suits you, or create on your own.
