Welcome to Wikipedia, but keep your user page short and sweet
Well, it can be long if it's about your "Wikipedia life."

For your "off-Wiki life" keep it short and sweet.

Also, Wikipedia is not a web hosting service, so it's not the best place to put things like blogs or large profiles containing your off-wiki life. There are plenty of web hosting services out there.

I see you've created 3 pages that are very similar, all about yourself, User:AlarkiusJay/sandbox, User:AlarkiusJay/sandbox/AlarkiusJay, and your user page itself, User:AlarkiusJay.

Sooner or later, they will be deleted as "spam" if they are not trimmed way down. If you don't need the two besides your user page, User:AlarkiusJay, just remove the content and replace it with what is in green:. If you do it right, it will look like what is at the top of the Template:db-user page.

Please read WP:About, WP:What Wikipedia is not, WP:User page, and WP:My first article before continuing.

Also, I'm going to recommend that Category:Hibryds by AlarkiusJay be deleted, it serves no real purpose within Wikipedia. Please read WP:Categories for more information about what Wikipedia uses "categories" for. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  21:27, 8 January 2021 (UTC)


 * To make the work, you should ONLY have what you see in the grey box below, nothing else:

If you do it wrong, it will show up as { followed by { followed by db-user followed by } followed by }, which is not what you want. If you do it right, it will show up as a pink box like the one at the top of Template:db-user. See Help:A quick guide to templates for more information on how templates work in Wikipedia. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  21:42, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
