*When designing the look of your user page, try to follow the common sense guidelines that apply throughout the wiki. For example, employ user friendly formatting, keep your content succinct and concise and avoid using undesirable design aspects such as garish colors or animated text. The better presented your user page is, the more people will be interested in reading it. Creativity and ingenuity are always encouraged.

*When making edits to your user page or its subpages, always mark them as minor edits to allow them to be filtered from the list of [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]]. Use the 'Show preview' button to avoid doing multiple small edits to your user page, instead of saving the changes every time.

*If you have information that you intend to update regularly, consider using inclusions to stop edits from popping up on other users' watchlists. For example, if you are tracking the progress of a title in an infobox and find yourself amending it daily, consider putting the infobox onto a separate page, such as "User:Yourname/Infobox" and including it into the main page as <code><nowiki>{{User:Yourname/Infobox}}</nowiki></code>. Any edits made to this subpage will not show up to people watching your talk page, but are kept current if they view your user page. Note that any subpage inclusions still fall under the main content restrictions of this policy.
