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 top right side of the page.
 * By clicking on your user name you are taken to a page with the title: User:your user name.
 * If your user page is blank, then you need 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 by going to your User Page (see above), then clicking on the "Talk" tab to the top left of the page.
 * New Wiki contributors generally receive a message from the Welcoming Committee on their Talk Page after their first contribution.
 * Copy this Discussion Conversations Template and past it into the edit box on your Talk Page.
 * Save your page.
 * This will give others a format to use on your Talk page. See the Talk Page for Sister Repouille.

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