None come to mind on Turtlepedia, but I mean on MediaWiki wikis in general, it's a common convention&mdash;both on the Wikimedia Project wikis and Wikia wikis as well as the externally-hosted wikis running on MediaWiki software. People create subpages to collect userboxes, or to prepare article drafts (not ready for the main article space), or as general overflow for the userpage when it grows too large. I've also been heavily active on Wikipedia and on Wiktionary, where I see this a lot.

For example, here's my Wiktionary userpage, where there's some brief description of my involvement on the wiki, along with some short research projects (lists of misspelling entries I've added to Wiktionary). For much larger projects, here's a research project I launched collecting lists of English words by phonological interest.

Even on Turtlepedia, it is my understanding that users can use their userpages to mention interests, describe some of their contribution to the wiki, etc. I naturally assumed that, since my userpage was slow to load because of the GIF gallery, that it would be neat and practical to move it to a subpage, using the convention User:(username)/(subpage). I've put a lot of effort in the animations I've organized and submitted to the wiki, and I thought they were worth organizing on a userpage level.

On Turtlepedia, I was also considering another research project as a user subpage&mdash;a pronunciation guide of various TMNT multiverse terms. I also wrote pronunciation guides on the Xenoblade wiki and on the The Last Story wiki. But unlike those, where the pronunciations are 100% backed up by voice acting in those video games, my pronunciation guide on Turtlepedia would be a subpage with the fanon template because it would include terms from comics series, whose pronunciations may not be 100% canonically confirmed but based on an educated guess.
