~~The wiki currently requires a user to be logged in to edit its content~~. ~~Each wiki edit is linked to a user~~ page in the ~~history. This~~ user page ~~may be used for telling a few words about the editor~~: This may be strengths, weaknesses, to-do lists and so on. This page is often a good starting point for the editor, containing todo-lists, project descriptions, and any other purpose more or less related to the wiki work.

A user page ~~gets added~~ to the ~~[[:category:wiki editor|category wiki editor]] if~~ the ~~line <code><nowiki>[[Category:Wiki~~ editor~~]]</nowiki></code> is added in the wiki markup~~.

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.

The talk page ~~of the~~ user page can be used to directly ~~get~~ into contact with the editor. If someone changes this page, ~~the editor gets~~ a notification ~~bar~~ displayed if ~~she~~/~~he does~~ the ~~next navigates step within~~ the wiki.

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 information more or less related to the wiki work.

== Communication ==

:''See also: [[MediaWikiWiki: Help:Talk pages#User talk pages]]''

The '''user talk page''' associated to a user page can be used to get directly into contact with the editor. If someone changes this page, a notification is displayed to the editor on all pages until they visit their talk page. So if you feel someone doing especially good or harmful to pages, you should consider writing them a message on the user talk page.

== Categories ==

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 language]]

* [[:Category:Users by online platform]]

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

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>.

== History ==

When the wiki was hosted by Wikispaces, user pages were not available; as a solution we created pages following the naming convention ''Editor [name]''. Since this alternative doesn't integrate well with the current wiki service, it has been deprecated.
