==Userspaces==
The userspace is ''your'' space. It includes your userpage, your talk pages, sandbox, and any other pages you chose to create that hang out around your user name!
===How do I change my username?===
Some users decide to change their username for various reasons. Perhaps you'd like to use your real name after using a nickname, or maybe you wish to reverse that and stop using your real name and take on a nickname instead. You can change it easily.

===I don't want to edit anymore, how do I delete my account?===
*[[User:Nolelover|Nolelover's reply]]:
Unfortunately, we cannot delete accounts for copyright and legal reasons ([[Wikipedia:Username#Deleting and merging accounts|all edits must be assigned to some account or IP]]), so it's important that you be careful not to do anything ''on-wiki'' that could have ''off-wiki'' consequences. Just remember that very few things ever ''truly'' disappear from Wikipedia. However, if you are an editor in good standing there is the option of [[WP:RTV|courtesy vanishing]]. If you choose to do this, your account will be renamed and your user pages deleted upon request. This method is ''not'' meant to be temporary, so don't take it lightly. If you don't want to do that, or aren't sure if you intend to abandon your account permanently, just [[WP:RETIRE|retire]]! Stop editing, but know that you are welcome back at any time.
===What cool things can I add to my userpage? I see other users have boxes and pictures!===
''Please add your reply here!''
===How do I contact another user?===
There are two ways you can directly contact another Wikipedian:

==What's a sandbox and how do I create one?==
A sandbox is a userspace page that allows you to carry you Wiki mark-up experiments and to also create new pages before sharing them with the world in the main space! The sandbox is a key tool used by Wikipedians of all experience levels.
