Help:Wiki University--User and Talk Page

What is a User Page?

 * Whenever you sign in to the Wiki, your user name appears at the bottom of the page under the Personal Tools in the right sidebar.
 * By clicking on your user name you are taken to a page with the title: User:your user name.
 * If your user name in the right side bar is in red, then you need to click on it to create the page and post a few things about yourself. Here are some suggestions:

Suggested topics for your user page:

 * Your full name
 * Occupation
 * Education
 * How people can contact you other than your talk page
 * Special talents and abilities
 * Hobbies or special interests
 * Church callings
 * Contributions to the wiki
 * A thumbnail head shot (this will be uploaded in the uploading images lesson)

You can also add user boxes to your page to reflect your home country, languages, genealogy focus, etc. The basic idea is for the Wiki missionary team to get to know you better.

What is a Talk Page?

 * Your personal talk page is a way for others to post messages intended for you.
 * Your talk page can be accessed from the right sidebar under Personal Tools section and is under the name "My talk."
 * If the link is in red, the talk page has not been created yet.
 * New Wiki contributors generally receive a message from the Welcoming Committee on their Talk Page after their first contribution.
 * If your Talk Page has not been created, you can create it by entering something and saving it.

Your Passwords
I changed all my passwords to "incorrect." Now whenever I forget, it will tell me "Your password is incorrect." About every six months you will be asked to change your password. This does not mean there is a problem with your account. All missionaries are asked to do this for security purposes.
