Guide: Create your User page

Keshav Kumar

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:(AlakaturThanusree)

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

1. 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.
2. Introduce Yourself:
   • Start by saying a friendly hello!
   • Share a little about who you are and why you're interested in the wiki.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Signatures are not needed:
   • You do not need to sign your user page. Signatures are only needed on talk pages.
7. 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!
