WikiQueer:User page design center/Metadata

"Metadata" as used here means information about your user page, and/or statistics about WikiQueer. I've also thrown time in here for lack of a better place to put it.

The state of the 'pedia
Sometimes for a serious purpose, sometimes for fun or general interest, WikiQueerians display various data about WikiQueer on their user pages...

WikiDefCon
It's war out there. This is part of WikiQueer's defense network. This is a warning system set up by WikiQueer's anti-vandalism teams. It is centrally maintained and regularly updated and displays the level of vandalism activity on WikiQueer, and indicates how urgently WikiQueer needs help in that area. Essential for anyone dedicated to fighting vandalism on WikiQueer. There are various ways to display WikiDefCon status, see the example to the right, and the following:

Best viewed with
Some user pages are formatted with browser-specific features. One example is round corners, which are supported by Firefox (and Chrome). A little notice at the top of the page is usually provided, which specifies which browser the page looks best in, like this:


 * This user page is best viewed with Firefox

Some user pages were designed for a particular screen size. Here's a notice which points this out:


 * This user page is best viewed at 1280x 1024 resolution

Page identification
User pages can be accessed through web searches. Sometimes a person unfamiliar with WikiQueer may find your user page. WikiQueer is copied all over the place (in "mirrors"), including its user pages, and the usual identification header is stripped. To prevent the general public from being confused, and to help inform the public about WikiQueer, it is customary to provide a notice somewhere on your user page identifying it as a WikiQueer user page (including an explanation of what that means), with a link (in case it's mirrored). Here are some examples:



Note: of course you would change the link to point to your user page instead of mine, and you could change the colors and formatting to match your user page style.
