====== Welcome to Your User Space ======

The BSD Cafe Wiki employs the User Manager plugin to provide each member with a personal space. Here’s how your personal and public namespaces are structured:

==== Public User Page ====
- Each user has a **public page** at `[[user:username|user:username]]`. This is where you can present yourself, showcase your BSD-related projects, share experiences, and contribute to the community.
- Think of this space as your public profile on the BSD Cafe Wiki.

==== Private Namespace ====
- Alongside your public page, you have a **private namespace** starting at `user:username:start`. This space is just for you to work on drafts, store private notes, and organize content before you’re ready to share it publicly.
- Access to your private namespace is restricted to ensure your drafts and notes remain confidential.

==== Creating and Editing Pages ====
- To **create a new page** in your private namespace, navigate to `user:username:pagename` and start editing.
- To **edit an existing page**, click the 'Edit' button while viewing that page.

==== Best Practices ====
- Use your **public space** or the other open spaces to contribute knowledge and collaborate openly with the BSD community.
- Utilize your **private space** to prepare content at your own pace, away from the public eye.
- Familiarize yourself with the [DokuWiki syntax](https://www.dokuwiki.org/wiki:syntax) to make the most out of your editing experience.

Remember, your contributions are valuable to the BSD Cafe community, and we encourage you to share your insights and experiences!
