You have fairly broad leeway in creating your user page. Content should be focused on the Smash Bros. series and SmashWiki, but it's fine to have pretty much anything, provided one uses common sense - things such as spam links to external sites, [[SW:NPA|personal attacks]], NSFW content, and slander of another user (regardless of whether they are part of this wiki) are not allowed, as is any other sort of offensive content. If you think something may be offensive to others, it probably is, and you should seriously consider not having it. Additionally, you may not have anything that rates other users, such as rating their competency as a wiki editor, how well you get along with them, or anything of that sort. They lack any potential constructive value, and when they were a user page trend in the past, they only ended up causing nonconstructive user disputes. | You have fairly broad leeway in creating your user page.

Like other talk pages, you may not remove comments from your talk page, outside of obvious vandal/spam posts. However, you are permitted to archive older comments as your talk page gets longer (again, at around the 32,000 byte mark). Do so by copying or moving your talk page to an archive subpage, such as <code><nowiki>User talk:Example/Archive 1</nowiki></code>, and leave a prominent link to it from your main talk page. You may wish to use [[Template:Archive box|the archive box template]] for this purpose. Discussions should be continued on a user's main talk page, rather than in their archives. | Like other talk pages, you may not remove comments from your talk page, outside of obvious vandal/spam posts.

However, you will not be able to enforce any sort of talk page rules that are not SmashWiki policy (such as attempting to forbid users from cursing on your talk page), and any attempts to do so will not be backed by the administration. | ||
