I try to do my part for Wikipedia, although I tend to not really add anything of use to the site besides vandalism reversions and spelling and grammar corrections because everything is already on this ginormomassive (Gigantic + Enormous + Massive) encyclopedia.
I like shiny things.
And I just learned how to actually make a list look like a list on Wikipedia.
I've contemplated the use of my user page as a personal sandbox, but I'm definitely learning stuff from it.
Many users like to create user subpages to store various bits of information such as welcome templates or other information. For example, if you are drafting a new page that is not ready to "go live", or proposing major changes in redrafting an existing page, a user subpage may be very useful.
To create a subpage simply visit your User page and then append the name of the subpage in your browser's URL bar. For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CoolDude would become http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CoolDude/MySubpageName. When you press the ↵ Enter key you will be prompted to create the new subpage.
If you no longer need a subpage, or wish to have it deleted, you can mark the page with {{db-owner}} or {{db|reason}}.
