Significant editing disclosures (voluntary but recommended) Things other editors may find helpful to understand, such as alternative accounts (if publicly disclosed)

If you are editing for or on behalf of a company, organization, group, product, or person (etc.) which you wish to be open about in order to gain a good working relationship with the editing community.

(Editing must always be neutral and within encyclopedia norms. Editors tend to distrust concealed conflicts of interest and agendas. Openly disclosing such interests increases respect, invites others to help, and shows a desire to edit appropriately.)

Notes related to your Wikipedia work and activities Current or planned articles, topic areas, to-do lists, reminders, articles worked on, accolades and other successes, collaborative works, draft proposals, (constructive) thoughts on Wikipedia articles or policies and how they should be changed, etc. Expansion and detailed backup for points being made (or which you may make) in discussions elsewhere on the wiki.

Work in progress or material that you may come back to in future (usually on subpages) Drafts, especially where you want discussion or other users' opinions first, for example because of conflict of interest or major proposed changes Drafts being written in your own user space because the target page itself is protected, and notes and working material for articles (Some content may not be kept indefinitely).

Useful links, tools, and scripts

User space archives Old talk page threads, etc. (Some content may not be kept indefinitely in userspace if unused.)

Matters that are long enough, or active enough, to allocate them a page of their own

Personal writings suitable within the Wikipedia community Non-article Wikipedia material such as reasonable Wikipedia humor, essays and perspectives, personal philosophy, comments on Wikipedia matters Disclosures of important matters such as absences or self-corrections that you would like other editors to know about, etc.

Statements of congratulations or condolence for major events, especially if related to Wikipedia editorship or major life-events.

(Make sure the user wants these to be publicly mentioned on the wiki, they may wish it to be private.)

Experimentation (usually on subpages) Trial pages for templates, unfamiliar or specialist markup (including LaTeX), etc., as a kind of personal sandbox.

Pages to test bots and scripts without doing harm.

User pages and user subpages can be transcluded and substituted, so they behave like templates, and can be tested as such.

Limited autobiographical content For example, languages you know (see Wikipedia:Babel) or fields you have knowledge in.

A small and proportionate amount of suitable unrelated material

A number of users have Wikipedia and sister project content such as (free use) pictures from Wikimedia Commons, favorite Wikipedia articles, or quotations that they like.

Pages used for blatant promotion or as a soapbox or battleground for unrelated matters are usually considered outside this criterion. For example: a five page résumé and advertising for your band will probably be too much, a brief three sentence summary that you work in field X and have a band named Y will be fine.

Editors may not use their userspace to solicit compensation for their Wikipedia contributions.
