User pages are still wiki pages, so they are open for everyone to edit. It is considered extremely rude to edit another user's page without the user's request, however, and such edits may be reverted. User pages are not allowed to look like another Web page, as it can cause disruption. User pages are not to be moved unless a user is being renamed, or if it belongs as a Smasher page.


User pages are still wiki pages, so they are open for everyone to edit.  Most people will ask before making major changes to someone else's user page though.  Small changes like formatting fixes or spelling corrections are absolutely fine, and can be done freely - it's always nice to find your user page improved.

Most people use user pages to give information about themselves and their interests and keep links to useful things.

You can make your user page as simple or as complicated as you like. You can add formatting or colour with wiki markup or with HTML, or leave it plain and simple.

Content

You may not use your user page for any content that is prohibited on SmashWiki. This includes copyright violations, pornography, excessive advertising, promotion of illegal activities, and hate speech. This is mostly common sense.

Editing user pages

User pages are still wiki pages, so they are open for everyone to edit. It is considered extremely rude to edit another user's page without the user's request, however, and such edits may be reverted. User pages are not allowed to look like another Web page, as it can cause disruption. User pages are not to be moved unless a user is being renamed, or if it belongs as a Smasher page.
