Welcome! Wikis are websites that everyone can build together. It's easy!

Tips for a Good Profile

Why have a profile?


A profile helps others on the wiki get to know you. On your profile, you can post anything, including photos, videos, polls, music, links and of course, text.

What makes a good profile?


Well, that's highly subjective. Our motto is any profile is better than no profile. Good examples for profiles come from what our awesome users are already doing:

  • Pimp out your profile with some bling, like Ally5919
  • Make it relevant to the site, like DarkAngel-X
  • Add movies and photos, like Darkraptor
  • Tell the community why you're on the wiki, like kanzis_slave
  • If you're on a wiki where you can be a character, play it up, like Sparrowheart

How do I add a Profile?


  1. When signed in, you can access and create/edit your profile by clicking on your username in the upper right-hand corner of any page.
  2. Click on "EasyEdit" and you can put anything you want on your profile, just like editing a regular page on a wiki.
  3. Have fun. If you have fun making a profile, others will probably have fun reading it.

How do I add a Picture (Avatar) to my Profile ?


  1. Go to your profile (Step 1 above).
  2. Click on "Edit Image" and you can upload any picture from your computer as your avatar, or get it from the web.

Note: Your avatar image and a link to your profile page coincide with all comments you make across the site.

Tips

  • Try adding pictures of what you like!

As of April 2008, you need to fill out a whole new profile for each wiki you join.
Several users have suggested changing this. It has implications for other things, such as friends (are they universal or wiki-specific?) and messages (messages sent to you at one wiki do not show up in your "messages" inbox at another wiki.

It isn't that good right now. But I am about to add lots of great stuff. I added a 3D table using CryingDoves technique (3D glasses required).
