Definition of an User Page
A User page in WSU Wiki is a page for a single user, like a personal home page. Users can edit their own pages, others cannot. User pages are important because every time an edit is made to WSU Wiki, a pointer is made from the edit to the user's page. User pages can have a link to a home page, blog, or elsewhere outside of WSU Wiki.
A current list of User pages can be found here: Special:Listusers
