or for UBX subpages

[[Category:{{{1}}}|Userpage UBX {{{your page name or abbreviation}}}]]

Note to users who subst: user templates

After you save the user page, please edit it again to insure that no user template categories have been placed on the user page. User pages are not user templates, so they do not belong in user template categories.
