Add and edit your user page[edit | edit source]
Most pages on this wiki can be edited by registered users. All edits are stored in a page's version history, so in the best case nothing gets lost. A wiki lives from its users. Being one of them, you should familiarise yourself with editing pages. You may for example start by adding a user page for your newly created user, with some information about yourself. To do so:
- click on your user name in the top right menu
- when you first do this, the page will tell you: "There is currently no text in this page."
- click on "create" in the top right corner of the page
- you can now edit and save your page
It is important to link the pages of a Wiki to one another. In a new Wiki this seems counter intuitive, but it is common practice to add links to pages that *should* exist, even if they do not. You might ask yourself: What should I link to, if the regarding pages do not even exist yet? The answer: you can link to them any ways. Simply add a link via the link icon in the editor menu above your page. You can link to any non-existing page, and it will be automatically added to the list of "wanted pages". You may check out this list (also on the real Wikipedia!) and add a page if you feel comfortable.
