Register as a User
On the last stop on our tour, we advise establishing a user account. A
few of the actions described below can only be undertaken by registered
users. In addition, it is considered proper etiquette in an open
wiki to make yourself known if you are editing articles.
In the upper right corner of the screen, you will see a link to create
an account or log in. Follow it to reach the registration form (see
Fig. 3.5). Under “Your user name,” select and enter a name, then select
“Your password.” You must retype the password on the next
line to prevent typing errors. You should also enter your email address
under “Your email,” so that your password can be sent to you,
should you forget it. When you have finished, click on Create new
account. You are now registered as a new user, and logged in as
well. You can verify this by looking up where the “Create an account”
button had been; in its place is now a series of links, the first
one being a link to a page with your user name.
You can log out using the “Log out” link. On your next visit, you
need only to enter your user name and password; the system already
knows the rest.
