[[File:The Cross-Linking Thing.png|240px|right]] | |||
An a nutshell, if you choose to use your [[WikiIndex:Real names|real name]] (and want your 'user page' to be in the 'main' namespace), you will need to create two important [[redirect]]s to maintain the full functionality of the [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software. | |||
*Click your <mark>log-in username</mark> at the very top of any page (top-right); that should open your own [[Special:MyPage|User:Login Username]] page (with the WikiIndex account [[username]] you use to log-in); edit that page to include only the following [[redirect]] command at the very <u>TOP</u> of the [[edit box]] (replacing the example '<tt>Real Full Name</tt>' with your own actual <span style=background-color:lightblue>real full name</span> from Step 2): | |||
*<code><nowiki>#redirect [[Real Full Name]]</nowiki></code> | |||
*'''Save''' the page; | |||
*Then click on that new link for your own <span style=background-color:lightblue>real full name</span> (from Step 2); | |||
*Click the 'discussion' tab (just above the page title), this should open 'Talk:<i>Real Full Name</i>' (a talk page in the <u>main</u> namespace, rather than the talk page in the 'User talk:' namespace); | |||
*Edit that page, changing it FROM your <span style=background-color:lightblue>real full name</span> TO your user account <mark>Login Username</mark>: | |||
*<code><nowiki>#redirect [[User talk:Login Username]]</nowiki></code> | |||
*'''Save''' the page. | |||
==Step 5 – create your own signature== | |||
*Click on the '[[Special:Preferences|Preferences]]' link at the very top of any page (top-right), and remain on the 'User profile' tab; | |||
*Scroll down to the 'Signature' section, then copy the below example, and then paste it into the 'New signature:' box (replacing the <tt>Real Full Name</tt> and <tt>Login Username</tt> with your actual <span style=background-color:lightblue>real full name</span> and your WikiIndex registered <mark>log-in username</mark>): | |||
*<code><nowiki>[[Real Full Name]] • <small>[[User talk:Login Username|talk]]</small></nowiki></code> | |||
*Make sure there is a check mark (or 'tick') in the 'Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)' checkbox (tick box); | |||
*Scroll down to the very bottom of the page, then click the '''Save''' button. | |||
It's not obligatory to look exactly like that format or style, but please make sure that: | |||
#your signature is not too long; | |||
#it complies with accessibility standards, does not contain flashing text or animations, and does not text size smaller than 10px; | |||
#it actually [[wikilink]]s to '''your article page''' and '''your talk page'''. | |||
==Step 6 – add languages (optional)== | |||
*Edit your article page; | |||
*See instructions at [[template: language]]. | |||
