My Preferences

When you have logged in, at the top of every page in the site the menu will show "My preferences" (red highlight).

Selecting this option will open a new page with a tab menu showing range of personal settings that will be applied each time you log in.

The initial "Preferences" tab shows your User profile (red highlight).

This page has basic information about you as a registered Wiki User.

  • Under the "Basic information" section you can edit your "Real name:"
  • Under the "Signature" section you can choose to change how your signature will appear when you sign an edit or comment.

If you are an undergraduate student, leave both your "Real name:" and "Signature" as your student ID.

Watch a Page

You can set your own preferences for "Watched" pages within the site. I recommend that you watch at least the Discussion page of your project. The "Watch" must be set on the page itself.
