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).
Then create a new page called User:USERNAME/Menu, and paste what you copied to there. Edit it to customize it to your purposes, and save. Then transcribe your menu page to your user and talk page (and/or to any of your other user subpages) by including it in curly brackets, like this: {{User:insert name here/Menu}}. Have fun.
The content from a template titled Template:foo can be added into a Wikipedia page by editing a page and typing {{foo}} into it. When then viewing the page, {{foo}} is automatically replaced by the content of the page "Template:foo". If the page "Template:foo" is later altered, all the pages with {{foo}} in them will change automatically.
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.

Once you save a red link there, and create the page, the link will turn blue and will be accessible anytime you visit it. Go to your user or user talk page (both permanently linked at the top of any Wikipedia page); Surround the page title you want to create in doubled brackets, e.g., [[Proposed Title]]; Click the Publish changes button;
