Is it okay to create my own page about myself instead of Wikipedia?

Hi there!

I just signed up for MediaWiki and I'm hoping to create a page about myself. I'd like a place to share information without disruption.

Unfortunately, Wikipedia has deleted my user page.

So I was wondering if it's okay to create my own page here on MediaWiki instead?

I'm waiting for your replies! :)

Hi and welcome. No, it is not okay as we are not a place to host random content. Please see Project:About - thanks! (You are always free to host your own website about yourself on your own server.)

Really? How does it work? 🤔

Click that link and find out.

Any other sites like that out there? I went to Miraheze, but the status is declined.

Web hosting services exist. You could create your own website.

But how? The status on my wiki request queue is declined, so I don't know what to do.

If you don't have the knowledge to do it yourself and are unwilling to learn, you can pay someone to do it for you. There is a list of people who do that sort of thing at Professional development and consulting

I can't do it, I'm a beginner.

Then you are free to pay someone to create a website for you.

I don't have any money. Sorry.
