Adding a new user

  1. in the TOOLBOX menu towards the bottom left side of this screen, click on the Special pages link or click here .
  2. from the list of items on special pages, click on the login/create account link or click here
  3. on this page, click on the create an account or (| click here)
    • enter the new username (use lowercase - because the login is case sensitive we have had problems with people getting cases just right)
    • don't enter the password or retype password
    • Enter the real name and email address
  4. click by email

This will send an email to the user that tells them how to login.

Setting Rights for a new user

In order to be able to write to the wiki, a user has to be set up as "Sysop" in user rights management. To do this:

  1. click on Special pages, user rights management (close to the bottom), or click here
  2. enter the user name exactly as just set up
  3. click edit user groups
  4. select Sysops and approved under "available groups" (click on one, then the ctrl-button, and then click the other)
  5. click "save user groups"
