Userpages are personal pages, and are not to be edited by other users unless prior permisson has been given. Instances in which this is permitted include, but are not limited to, broken links that appear on the [[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages]], duplicate images on the [[a:Main Page|Archives]], uncategorizing a userpage categorized in a category it should clearly not be in, reverting vandalism, etc. Spelling mistakes, however, and other minor things like this that do not affect the overall running of Bulbapedia are to be left untouched. If a change you wish to make to another user's page does not fall under one of the above categories, ask an administrator or that user for permission. Please also note this permission in the edit summary. | Userpages are personal pages, and are not to be edited by other users unless prior permisson has been given.

==If you currently cannot edit your userpage== | |||
If you find yourself unable to edit your userpage, this may be due to one of four reasons: | |||
* Your account is not {{bp|autoconfirmed}}: a special status is required before you can edit your userpage; this can be automatically earned by editing Bulbapedia's {{bp|mainspace}} | |||
* You have been put into the "abuse" usergroup for overediting your page and breaching this policy | |||
* Your userpage has been protected: see the protecting administrator for assistance | |||
* Your account has been [[Bulbapedia:Blocking policy|blocked]]: in which case you will have to wait out the block. | |||
If you cannot edit your userpage and don't seem to fit one of these four categories, seek help from a {{bp|staff member}}. | |||
