To link to it, type [[User:Example User/Subpage]] To transclude it (like a template) type {{User:Example User/Subpage}} The reason you would want to transclude it is if you want to put a header on every page, all you would need to put is {{User:Example User/Header}}, and you wouldn't need to put the code on each time.

If you are new to Wikipedia, you might consider using the standard article format for your userpage initially. That should suffice while you're learning the ropes. If you don't have a user page yet and don't know how to create a page, then click on your user name at the top of the screen and follow the instructions (if the page already exists, your username will be blue instead of red).
That makes your user page one of the most easily accessible pages to you on Wikipedia, making it a powerful tool. One of the things you can use your user page for is navigation. It is the perfect place for bookmarks and navbars/navboxes, to get you where you need to go on Wikipedia and related destinations fast.

Alternate title headers are headers that cover up the default header at the top of a page. The default title header has the name of the page in big bold letters.
