Wiki Account - what now!

Post by DaddyHoggy »

OK, I've finally created an account on the Elitewiki - DaddyHoggy deserves a presence I think (finally have a back-story for my alter-ego) - I notice that this seems to be based on "User:Captain Hesperus" as an example. So, my question is - what do I do? Is there a simple HowTo somewhere or can simple instructions be posted here to get me going?

TIA

DH

Don't ask me - I did mine wrong and got told off on the associated 'talk' page! :wink:

Cheers,

Meh, it's not Wikipedia, so no stress. Just used the search box (on the left hand side) to search for User:DaddyHoggy then select edit this page. Voila!

All done. Here

Is there a good way to search the wiki - I would like to see how many other "user:xxxxxx" have been created - but the search just gives me a million billion hits on the key word "user"

I think if you follow the link on the left to special pages, then user list http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Special:Listusers then you get all the users. The ones in Red do not have user: pages, the ones in blue exist.
