Wiki problems regarding contributions to the UB

[stefanhendriks]

guys, i am playing with this wiki thing for some time now and cant seem to even log in? What the heck is this kind of tool? It only frustrates me at the moment...

In the lower right corner is a "Sign In" field. Enter your username there. This will take you to another page where you could enter your password.
Then simply navigate to the page you want to edit (unless your already there) and kick the "Edit" button in the lower left corner of the page. You will see an edit box and below that some explanations how you can use it. Use the preview button to see if everything looks like you desire and once you're satisfied save the page...
For examples how to use it, study existing pages (by editing them).

how do you get a username there?

[@$3.1415rin]

just invent one which isnt used already, and enter it in the sign in field

[sPlOrYgOn]

says "Invalid password or userid."
when i put my username as splorygon and i tried an empty password and a nonempty password..

[stefanhendriks]

terran, thanks for the info

I tried it before, but it would not accept my username. So i wonder, is the username the same as on the board here? Or is it my e-mail? i dunno. I will try some things, did it before though so this is for me the 2nd shot

thx again, perhaps i just was to impatient and hit the X to soon

[sPlOrYgOn]

you have to put it in the form of SomeThingLikeThis in order for it to accept you...

[Onno Kreuzinger]

it is your email and email passwd, that is the one reserved, else you can choose a WikiWord like usernamen (w/o password)

[sPlOrYgOn]

how often are those files updated?

[Onno Kreuzinger]

which files ?

/edit

okay for clarity, any normal user can use any wiki word as log in, but he does not have nick protection or is required to have a passwd.

all BU server-user (having an email address at the BU server) can use their email login name (w/o the @bots-united.com), which does have password authentication.

cheers
