WikiIndex:New page for yourself

Step 1 – Copy the Category Tag

• Copy the Category tag below

[[Category:Wiki People]]

Step 2 – Create your namepage

• Type your name in the search box
• Click the "Add" button
• If your name page was not found create it by clicking on the link "...create an article with this title."
• Paste the Category Tag from step 1 into the edit box
• Enter the appropriate info for your wiki
• Save the page

Step 3 – Upload your Picture

• You must create a user login before you can upload an image
• Click on the "Upload file" link in the lower left hand toolbox
• Locate your picture file using the browse button
• Upload the file
• Copy the page name of the image page
• Edit your namepage
• Paste the code below into your page and replace "Image:YourPicture.png" with your image pagename

[[Image:YourPicture.jpg|200px|left]]

• Save the page

Step 4 – Create your redirects

• Click your login name at the very top of any page. That should put you on User:LoginName (with the name you use to log in, instead of LoginName). Edit that page to be only this (replacing YourName with your actual name from Step 2):

#REDIRECT [[YourName]]

• Save the page
• Click on the link for your name (from Step 2).
• Click the Discussion tab (just above the page name), putting you on Talk:YourName.

#REDIRECT [[User talk:LoginName]]

• Save the page

Step 5 – Create your signature

• Click on the "Preferences" link at the top of any page.
• Copy this into the "Your nickname (for signatures)" field (replacing YourName and LoginName with your names):

[[YourName]] | <small>[[User talk:LoginName|talk]]</small>

• Make sure there is a check mark in the "Raw signatures (without automatic link)" checkbox.
• Click the Save Preferences button.
• It's not obligatory to look like that, but make sure:

1. That it isn't too long
2. That links to your page and your talk page.

• See instructions at template: language.
