This guide explores how users can expand and utilize their user space.
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.

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.
