Layout themes

Our "Cheatsheet" is a good starting point for learning basic Wikipedia formatting. A more complete guide is here.

You can take some formatting tips from the standard way Wikipedia articles are laid out. Articles use headings, paragraphs, bulleted lists, etc. However, please take care not to set up a user page that anyone could mistake for an actual article (this is discouraged here).

When you come across an editor (Wikipedian) who seems experienced and sensible, take a look at their user page to see if there are design elements you could incorporate into your own user page.

Portal format

As of 2018, the Portals Project has made some astounding advancements in portal design, making portals a breeze to create and modify. One possible application of the new portal design is as a user page.

For an example of a user page set up as a portal, see User:The Transhumanist.

Format elements

Portal components

Many of the various templates from the growing collection of portal elements can be used to great effect on a user page's design. For example...

Conforms to the size of the container or column it is in. On most portals, it is in a half-page-width column. Here, it is full-width single-column:
