You may have more than one user page. Additional pages in your user space are called "sub pages". They are named after your main user page, followed by a forward slash, followed by the subpage name. Like this: "User:The Transhumanist/Virtual classroom".
One subpage name in particular is reserved to be an active page checked by Mediawiki (the name of the software program which runs Wikipedia). That subpage, called "vector.js", is used to customize your user account.
"JS" stands for JavaScript. You can customize your Wikipedia account using JavaScript scripts. Whenever you log on, the MediaWiki software automatically accesses and runs any scripts found on your vector.js page (if you have one that is).
If you use Firefox, and you would like to upgrade your Wikipedia user account with a useful collection of scripts, add this into your .js page:importScript('User:The Transhumanist/UPDC.js');
Doing so will add the following programs or changes to your account:
The following tools can also be inserted into your vector.js
{{subst:User:Misza13/Scripts/View source}}
Many scripts can be added to your account from Preferences → Gadgets, such as:
These can still be added to your account the old-fashioned way on your vector.js page, but installing them in My preferences takes just checking a box for each.
