Your User Page must display your correct username (the one you log into the wiki with) as the page title. You should not override the page title so that the user name does not show. For example: if your username is Genealogy223 and your real name is Dale Smith, then the title of your wiki user page will be Genealogy223, not Dale Smith. This is to assist others to identify what edits and contributions you have made. | |||
