''Explanation:''
* Every registered user account on Wikipedia has its own "userspace" - for instance, [[User:Example/Lipsum]] is a page in [[User:Example]]'s userspace.
* Userspace is part of Wikipedia, and its use is governed by community rules ([[WP:Userspace#Ownership and editing of pages in the user space|Ownership and editing of pages in the user space]]), but is not part of the encyclopedia. (The encyclopedia part of Wikipedia is called "[[Wikipedia:Main namespace|mainspace]]" - eg [[Lorem ipsum]] is a page in mainspace.)
* Drafts are typically done on a "[[WP:USERSUBPAGE|user subpage]]" (eg [[User:Example/Lipsum]]).

''Cleaning up after yourself:''
* As a courtesy, when you have a page in your userspace you no longer need, edit it to add <tt><nowiki>{{db-userreq}}</nowiki></tt> at the top. It will be deleted shortly.
