			Note that [[:Category:Wiki editors]] is reserved for pages in the main namespace, since it is a subcategory of [[:Category:People]]. "People pages" in the main namespace should follow a more encyclopedic style, whereas a user page can have a more personal style.

			See also [[Special:ListUsers]] and [[Special:ActiveUsers]] for an exhaustive list of wiki editors and a list of wiki editors who were active in the past 30 days, respectively.

			== Subpages ==
			A wiki user can create subpages within its user space by choosing a title with the following format: <code>User:''Username''/''Subpage''</code>; e.g. [[User:Xenwolf/Lua]].

			To generate a list of all subpages of a page, add this line to your page: <code><nowiki>{{Special:Prefixindex\|prefix={{FULLPAGENAME}}/\|hideredirects=1\|stripprefix=1}}</nowiki></code>.
