Consider giving the template a meaningful name. Usually one would try to only have the initial character upper case. Do not use abbreviations for an article title. You your article title should instead be spelled out and a redirect page for the abbreviation to your article should be created. | Consider giving the template a meaningful name.

You can also create an article as a subpage to your user page if you know that you will be working on the article a bit now and then, but do not want to leave unfinished article in the article namespace. You can create a subpage to your user page by giving it the name '''User:''User name''/''Article name'''''. To make it easier to find you can make a link to it on your user page. When you are more or less done, you can then move this page to the article space. | |||
