Creating your user page

Creating Your User Page

Creating your user page should be one of the first things you do here. This process shows you how to write in Wiki style. You can consider it as an exercise to familiarize yourself with how to write and generate source text here at Wikiversity. Without help, one of us may spend hours and days with a Wikiversity user page and still not happy with the result, even after so much time has been wasted and not instead used for the actual learning or teaching. Here is how you will in few minutes create a decent user page and move on with your learning or teaching activities.

Follow a Procedure

A procedure has been created on this page to show you step by step how to quickly create your user page. Click here and follow the steps there.

Providing an Instruction

To tell your students about the above procedure, place the following string in the discussion page of your student's user page:

{{Use the template Userpagelikeplanotse to set up your user page in a hurry|Tony|Planotse}}

The result will be as shown below:

Hello, I'm Tony and my username is Planotse.
You can use the template Userpagelikeplanotse
to set up your user page in a hurry.
Detail instruction is provided
here on this page.

You should of course replace my name (Tony) and my username (Planotse) with yours so that the student know it was their teacher who posted the message.
