{{summ|User pages are free-form pages that are yours to create, more or less as you see fit. But we do have a few rules about them — both on this page, and the various pages linked above.}} | {{summ|User pages are free-form pages that are yours to create, more or less as you see fit.

Put simply, the page that starts with '''User:''' and ends with your name is your '''user page'''. For example, '''TimeLadyKatie''''s user page is [[User:TimeLadyKatie]]. | Put simply, the page that starts with '''User:''' and ends with your name is your '''user page'''. For example, '''TimeLadyKatie''''s user page is [[User:TimeLadyKatie]]. It's yours to do with as you will, but you don't own it, and it's not in any way private. Think of yourself as the curator of a public page on the internet ''about'' you, and create it accordingly. | ||
== A better definition == | |||
More precisely, user pages are all the pages found in [[namespace]] 2. This means they are not just the base page, but all [[mw:subpages|subpages]], as well. So [[User:Rob T Firefly|Rob T Firefly]]'s user pages are: | |||
*[[User:Rob T Firefly]] | *[[User:Rob T Firefly]] | ||

We also strongly discourage users from working '''primarily''' on their user pages. If we find that you are spending most of your time at Tardis editing your user page(s), we'll ask you to start editing the rest of the wiki. If you don't, we may, in extreme cases, prevent you from editing here further. That's because [[T:NOT HOST|this wiki is not your free web host]]. | We also strongly discourage users from working '''primarily''' on their user pages.

== Other people's user pages == | |||
When you contribute to Tardis, you agree that your contributions can be modified by anyone at any time. Technically, this applies to your user page, as well. However, we ask that you generally ''not'' edit someone else's user page, under the theory that you probably wouldn't want someone editing yours. | |||
[[ | [[Admin]], and especially [[T:BOT|bots]], will occasionally edit user pages in mostly trivial ways, or so as to make the page comply with local rules. | ||
If you notice that someone else's user page has been vandalised, please do not revert on your own initiative. Instead, please alert an admin. Admin have greater powers to notice editing patterns, and so are in a better position to identify the seriousness of the vandalism. | |||
== Fan fiction == | |||
[[T:NO FANFIC|Tardis isn't a place for fan fiction.]] If you want a place to keep your ''Doctor Who'' fan fiction at Wikia, we recommend you go to the '''[[w:c:doctorwhofanon|Doctor Who Fanon Wiki]]'''. | |||
