The ~~wiki~~ currently requires a user to be logged in to edit content. Each wiki edit is linked to a '''user page''' in the editing history of pages, also the recent changes link to user pages as well as several user lists. That's why it is a good idea to use the user page for telling a few words about the editor. This may be strengths, weaknesses and projects.

The Xenharmonic Wiki currently requires a user to be logged in to edit content. Each wiki edit is linked to a '''user page''' in the editing history of pages, also the recent changes link to user pages as well as several user lists. That's why it is a good idea to use the user page for telling a few words about the editor. This may be strengths, weaknesses and projects.

Because the page is easy to find when logged in, it is often a good starting point for the editors themselves to continue their work, containing todo-lists, project descriptions, and ~~informations~~ more or less related to the wiki work.

~~A user page gets added to the [[:Category:Wiki editors]] if the line <code><nowiki>[[Category:Wiki editors]]</nowiki></code> is added in the page source.~~ There are ~~some more~~ user categories rooted in the [[:Category:Users]] that may help to improve communication by trying overcome barriers in time, space, and language.

There are several user categories rooted in the [[:Category:Users]] that may help to improve communication by trying overcome barriers in time, space, and language.

For user categories that already exist, see:

* [[:Category:Users by time zone]]

~~further~~ ones can easily be added on request.

Further ones can easily be added on request.

Note that [[:Category:Wiki editors]] is reserved for pages in the main namespace, since it is a subcategory of [[:Category:People]]. "People pages" in the main namespace should follow a more encyclopedic style, whereas a user page can have a more personal style.

See also [[Special:ListUsers]] and [[Special:ActiveUsers]] for an exhaustive list of wiki editors and a list of wiki editors who were active in the past 30 days, respectively.

== Subpages ==

A wiki user can create subpages within its user space by choosing a title with the following format: <code>User:''Username''/''Subpage''</code>; e.g. [[User:Xenwolf/Lua]].

To generate a list of all subpages of a page, add this line to your page: <code><nowiki>{{Special:Prefixindex|prefix={{FULLPAGENAME}}/|hideredirects=1|stripprefix=1}}</nowiki></code>.
