A good start is to add a little information about yourself, how old you are, where you're from, your favorite ''Mario'' games, your areas of expertise and interest, likes and dislikes, other homepages, and so forth. Obviously, this will depend on how comfortable you are with respect to privacy. [[MarioWiki:Userbox|Userbox towers]] are a favorite method of communicating the basic facts about yourself, although you should be careful not to go overboard with the amount of boxes you use. Many users also include quotes, links to their favorite articles and image galleries. However, like the userboxes, be careful not to spend too much time building up these sorts of repositories. User pages are fun, but your focus should always be editing the wiki, not your userspace.

If you want, you can let people know about your activities and goals on the wiki: you might include current plans, recent activities or notable accomplishments. If you're going away or won't be editing the wiki very much, you might drop a note on your user page to that effect. You can also use your userspace to help you edit the Super Mario Wiki more effectively: you can use it to list useful links or features, make a "to do" list for yourself, or even draft new pages, policies or templates.
