When you are logged in to Wikipedia, a link to your user page is displayed at the top of every page.
That makes your user page one of the most easily accessible pages to you on Wikipedia, making it a powerful tool.
One of the things you can use your user page for is navigation. It is the perfect place for bookmarks and navbars/navboxes, to get you where you need to go on Wikipedia and related destinations fast.
Basic heading and list format to organize your Wikipedia bookmarks
You could use headings and bullet items to create your own fast and easy navigation aid, like this:
My bookmarks - Key Wikimedia-related pages
- commons · mailing lists · meta · simple · wiktionary · sister projects
- bugzilla · charts · catgraph · 6° · mirror filter
- vpp · vpr · vpt
- Key help pages
- template · user page · watch
- Wikipedia:cheatsheet · catalogue of CSS classes
- web colors · list of colors
- Key templates
- Interesting spaces
- Key projects
Navigation bars are templates which have an assortment of links usually based around a theme. They are designed to stretch across a page, usually at the top. Here are some examples you can clone and stylize for your user page:
