the sections "Facts about yourself" and "Interests"
I suggest removing the "informative" introduction from the titles of the distinctive signs.
Now this looks like :
This user ...
This user ...
This uset...
-- it's impossible to read it. And it gets more annoying the more details the participant has revealed about himself. Thank him for that, but it turns out the opposite. ↵Can specify "This user ..." once at the beginning of the section, as you wish. But I'm personally against it. It's not worth explaining the obvious.. Of course, there is a possibility that the reader may attribute these achievements to himself
.
There are no similar entries in the section "Orders, badges and medals" :
The user has earned the medal ...
The user has earned the medal ...
The user has earned the medal ...
Very similar in Windows releases:
--- Errors fixed section ---
fixed an error that ...
fixed an error that ...
fixed an error that ...
Readers, and I, have the impression that the text was written for fans from nursing homes, or the payment for the text is made for the number of letters. ↵There are other analogies for similar deviations from brevity and reasonableness. But this is on request. I think Wikipedia is not the place for them.
The English-language original "user" has 4 letters. It's still bearable. In other languages, the analog can be 2+ times longer (user, participant, member, ...).
I propose to adduce the sections "Facts about yourself" and "Interests" to the form of the section "Orders, badges and medals" Seregadu (talk) 16:22, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

здесь пример тупости : Если человек не понимает о чем речь, он не знает саму Wiki на минимальном уровне. Но он задает вопросы, и ему нельзя ответить -- открой глаза, это ест у каждого в профиле.

Hi! Which pages are you talking about? Can you give us an example? Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:28, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
Each Wikipedia participant (who provided this information about themselves) has these sections -- "Facts about yourself" and "Interests". Seregadu (talk) 16:30, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
I'm guessing you're referring to userboxes, which usually start with "this user"? Userboxes are commonly used because they're a consistent and convenient way for editors to display information, but they are completely optional and editors can format this information however they want. "Facts about yourself" and "Interests" sections are also optional, along with "awards" sections. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 21:45, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
Except nobody actually writes "Facts about yourself" in such cases, and almost nobody writes "Facts about myself". WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:49, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
@Seregadu, could you paste a URL to the page where you see "Facts about yourself"? I have no idea what you're talking about. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:46, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
show more analytical skills before asking questions. Remember your own actions in the past. Here is the link you are asking about. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:WhatamIdoing Seregadu (talk) 22:00, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
@Seregadu Please be civil. At no point have you actually used the word "userpage" which would give people an idea of what you're talking about. Cremastra (u — c) 22:05, 18 May 2025 (UTC)
@Seregadu, the words "Facts about yourself" or "Interests" are not on that page, nor is there any section called "Orders, badges and medals". WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:10, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
I admit that this is also surprising to me, I assumed that this is a standard template for all Wikipedia users.
I didn’t invent the names of the sections myself, I copied them from another user, it was difficult for me to read "This user ..." several dozen times. In Russian it is longer. My post is about this.
If the section titles are edited and they are not templates, let them. It's not that important. As a Wikipedia user, I am not satisfied with dozens of copies. My post for discussion. Seregadu (talk) 04:15, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
Are you asking about userpages at the Russian Wikipedia? I can't find the names of those sections here at the English Wikipedia.
Here at the English Wikipedia, there is no standard template for User: pages. You write whatever you want. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:22, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
If you ask, I can copy my 2nd post for you again. I wrote about templates that are not set by the Users themselves.
Leave the Russian Wikipedia alone. If I wanted to talk about the Russian part, I would write there.
The templates are the same for everyone. I don't have these sections, because I don't fall under my own 2 post on this topic. Seregadu (talk) 04:31, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
There are no templates or pages at the English Wikipedia (except for your post on this page) that contain the words "Order, badges and medals". Look at the search results. If that existed at the English Wikipedia, then there would be pages in the search results. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:42, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
I think we've seen enough here. Unless and until Seregadu identifies which templates on the English Wikipedia they are talking about we should follow WP:DNFTT. Phil Bridger (talk) 07:39, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
I agree with you - everyone has already seen enough. Enough to assess your abilities.
1. My theme is about user profiles. This is an area that can also be changed globally and improved. This is not a closed topic for discussion.
2. Most Wiki users have the "This user..." template.
3. I don't have this template - I did not fill them out, I do not know how to do it, and I will not do it because of my low interest in my self-presentation. (I know some HTML, CSS, and JS pretty well, but the Wiki has a hard time learning how to install "templates". So , you will improve the Wiki, in terms of templates ?
4. You don't have this template. Your page has a redirect to your "User talk page". This is your right. But the result for other is equival for you and me -- the absence of a "User page". So maybe you're a TROLL like me. ?. Seregadu (talk) 02:53, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
There are no set templates for User pages. Unless you can provide a link to specific examples, it is impossible to understand what you are trying to talk about. CMD (talk) 03:10, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
It's amazing to me. Everyone keeps saying they don't see any patterns.
It seems that the Wiki forms the output of templates for me alone, which others do not see. It has something to do with the discussion of other participants. I would have pointed to my page a long time ago, but I don't see a template installation mechanism there like the others. This is also a Wiki flaw that needs to be improved.
I set for me an obvious template {{ rus }} -- (This user speaks Russian) or (This user has Russian as his native language), but it didn't work.
Okay, now I'll show you the page of any participant in this conversation, if He/She came here self. Seregadu (talk) 03:27, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
{{rus}} is a template for the names of sports stadiums and should not appear on any User: page.
{{User ru}} is one of the (optional) Wikipedia:Userboxes for people who claim to speak Russian. However, for languages specifically, it's better to use the Wikipedia:Babel system. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:43, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
Babel --- this is layout for Wiki ? This is the first time I've heard this. I see class="wikipediauserbox"
Wiki is reflected in HTML, of course, also PHP, I did not notice Markdown. But I haven't even heard of Babel. Seregadu (talk) 03:54, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
No, it is not layout.
All wiki pages are written in a markup language called wikitext. You have used this in some of your edits. You can see it in use on your User_talk:. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:59, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
CMD , You have 3 tamplate "This user ...". Do you see them? Do you remember the time when you installed them? Tell me, I do not know this process.
You have 3 of them. There are pages of other participants who have 50+ of them. They take up 2 screens. And they all start with words "This user ..." , that all readers SKIP. If they are skipped, maybe they are not needed? Before can understand the participant's identity, need to skip 10 letters. Seregadu (talk) 03:41, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
Above, you said that "Each Wikipedia participant...has these sections -- "Facts about yourself" and "Interests"". However, it appears you didn't actually mean that everyone has a section with these words; instead, you meant "some stuff on the page" without these words.
What you describe with the Russian language example is a userbox. The wording is traditional. You are not required to use the traditional wording. You can make your own personal copies.
There is no "template installation mechanism". Userboxes are added the same way that infoboxes or navboxes are added to articles. If you want to see this:
This user likes Chocolate
on your User: page, then you type {{User:Pratyya Ghosh/Chocolate-1}} on your User: page.
If you don't like the wording, you can pick a different one, e.g., {{User:I'm Aya Syameimaru!/chocolate}}, which says:
Chocolate! ;P Yum!
or you can build your own from Template:Userbox. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:54, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
great, here's another suggestion:
for all users, at the start, to install in the user page one such template in red/yellow/green with a link to Wikipedia:Babel Seregadu (talk) 04:05, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
Unlike most other languages of Wikipedia, a very large number of editors here only speak English. Therefore, if you want to have such a tool, this is the wrong wiki to be asking it at. WhatamIdoing (talk) 16:31, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
Wiki constantly amazes me with the difference of opinion, even to the point of being unable to understand the other person. Or he can't understand me.
I wrote about user pages with 50+ such badges. And each of them begins with the words "This user ...". What does English have to do with it? Seregadu (talk) 17:02, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
Why would the mostly monolingual English community want to have "a link to Wikipedia:Babel" (something that is for multilingual people)? WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:50, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
I got it. I initially gave the wrong direction and got the wrong link. I was not talking about languages. Not about the advantages of English over others. Or vice versa. I thought that Usebox is part of Babel. No. Above you have given the correct link. Userbox. I only talked about this.Seregadu (talk) 09:11, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
