User pages can be used for the following:

  • Personal profile.
  • 'Want list' of miniatures shown on the wiki.
  • Testing pages before 'publishing' them to the main wiki (by renaming the page).
  • Miniatures related information that does not fit in any of the main wiki categories.

The pages are NOT to be used for:

  • Non miniatures related subjects. A paragraph or a link in a personal profile is fine, but this is a miniatures only site.
  • For commercial gain. Trade lists, personal profile links to your commercial site or eBay 'current auctions' are fine, but this is not a free hosting service.
  • As a file exchange.

Note: We reserve the right to revoke access to anyone not adhering to the above.

To create your own, without the quotes and substituting your user login for <login> type in the search filed on the left of any page: user:<login> and click 'GO'. e.g for the login fred nurk you would type user:fred nurk.

Additional pages can be added by using the naming convention: user:<login>/<page name>. e.g. user:fred nurk/page 1, user:fred nurk/page 2.

Please do not upload large numbers of images to the wiki that will be only used for these personal pages, and make sure that the image name is prefixed with your login in the form: <login>-<image name>. e.g. If Fred wanted to upload an image called 'mugshot.jpg' then it would be named Fred Nurk-mugshot.jpg.

A sample user page can be seen here you can use it as a template or guide on how to setup your own pages.

User pages can be accessed by typing: user:<login>/<page name> in the search field, clicking on the Special Pages link then the User List link and then the desired user, or by a URL of the form http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/index.php/User:<login> e.g. http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/User:sample

Note: Please do not use any categories in a user page.
