From Justice Definitions Project
Create your 'User page'
Welcome to Your User Page! Share Your Story!
Your user page is your personal space on the wiki! It's a place where you can introduce yourself, share your interests, and let other users get to know you. Think of it as your wiki "about me" page. Here's how to create a great one:
What is a User Page?
- It's a page dedicated to your user account.
- It's a place to share information about yourself.
- It's a way to connect with other users.
- It is located at a URL like, https://[yourwiki.org]/wiki/User:[YourUsername]
Finding Your User Page
- When you're logged in, look for your username at the top right-hand corner of the page.
- Click on your username.
- If you haven't created a user page yet, you'll likely see a message saying something like, "There is currently no text on this page." and a link to create the page.
Creating Your User Bio
- Click "Create" or "Edit":
- If your user page is empty, click the "Create" button.
- If you want to edit an existing bio, click the "Edit" button.
- Introduce Yourself:
- Start by saying a friendly hello!
- Share a little about who you are and why you're interested in the wiki.
- Share Your Interests:
- What topics are you passionate about?
- What kind of contributions do you plan to make?
- This helps other users find common ground with you.
- Keep It Friendly and Professional:
- Remember that your user page is visible to everyone.
- Keep your language respectful and appropriate.
- Avoid sharing too much personal information.
- Add Links (Optional):
- You can add links to other wiki pages or external websites like your LinkedIn profile.
- This can help users learn more about your interests.
- Signatures are not needed:
- You do not need to sign your user page. Signatures are only needed on talk pages.
- Click "Publish Changes":
- When you're happy with your bio, click the "Publish changes" button.
Your user page is a great way to connect with the wiki community. Have fun creating it!
