This policy details the rules on the Creation, maintaining, and use of Userpages (i.e. Pages which start with "User:").
General Rules
Users are free to create a user page in the User: Namespace about themselves as long as it does not interfere with Gaiapedia and they are actually registered and active under that user name. As long as they follow the guidelines:
- Limit your edits. (So that you do not clutter up the Recent Changes page.)
- Keep your User page tame. (Insults, User Bashing, Misrepresentation, etc... Do not belong on a user page, we are not a journal/ranting/blog website.)
- Do not upload a Personal image, such as a Avatar image, or personal artwork or photos. Images can be externally embedded into your user page by simply inserting the url onto the page.
- Never remove a User warning template from your user page. (EG: A Vandalism, or Block template.) user warnings are placed at the top of a user page because of a violation of the rules, and serve as a reminder to keep within them. Additionally, user warnings are cumulative so removal would interfere with that process. If warnings begin to clutter the page, they will simply be placed inside of a box designed to separate warnings from content. If you believe someone has placed a user warning on your page for a unjust reason, contact a Active Gaiapedia Administrator. Removing a Vandalism warning from your user page is punishable by another warning of higher level.
- Our User pages are given out as a contact sheet, or as a return for a user helping maintain the Gaiapedia. As such, a User page may be deleted(User pages with warnings will only be blanked of content) if it's User does not make any contribution to The Gaiapedia. This also means that the use of a user page for personal reasons such as advertising, or other things that break The Gaiapedia rules may result in the blanking of your user page.
