[edit] User categorisation

According to Wikipedia:User categorisation, instead of adding your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedians/California, California Wikipedians should add one of the following categories to the bottom of their User page:

[[Category:Wikipedians in California|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]]
[[Category:Wikipedians in Northern California|{{PAGENAME}}]]
[[Category:Wikipedians in Central California|{{PAGENAME}}]]
[[Category:Wikipedians in Southern California|{{PAGENAME}}]]


This will put your User page into either Category:Wikipedians in California, Category:Wikipedians in Northern California, Category:Wikipedians in Central California or Category:Wikipedians in Southern California.

[edit] User Boxes

Instead of just adding the category to your user page, you could add the Userbox for Californians {{User California}} to your user page, which will also add your user page to the Wikipedians in California category.


This user lives in California.


To identify youself specifically with this WikiProject, if you don't live in California or if you want your userboxes to represent your work on Wikipedia, you can add the {{Wikipedia:WikiProject_California/Userbox}} userbox to your page. It will look like this, but with a link back to this page:
