Note: This method is a hack which does not work with all Wikipedia skins. For example, users of the Classic skin will have the links at the top of the page covered up by the title.

[edit] Creating Title Headers

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. If you don't like the default, follow the instructions below

1.First, create a user subpage (described in this section) titled "User:Example User/Header"
2.Then, copy the following code into the subpage and change the parts that you can change (for example, the part that says "HEADER TEXT YOU WANT")
{| style="position:absolute; top:0; width:100%; background:#F8FCFF; color:#888;" valign="middle" |- |[[Image:OPTIONAL IMAGE.jpg|38px]] <h1 style="margin:0; border-bottom:0; color:COLOR OF TEXT;"> HEADER TEXT YOU WANT |}
3. Transclude the header onto your userpage (transcluding was described in the making subpages section)
4. Follow this link to see an example of the header. It will be at the top-left side of the page.
