- Your user account is through which you will perform all the edits on this Wiki. Please note that every edit that is ever made will be logged and linked to your username. Generally, on wikis, it is customary to maintain user pages, which have a prefix
User:, but on this wiki, we respective Fellow: pages of users take precedence i.e. you are not expected to create a user-page but only a fellow page.
- For cohorts from 2020, when a fellow page is created using the fellow creation form, userpage is redirected automatically to the fellow page i.e. when someone clicks on your userpage page link, they will land on your fellow page. Fellows from other cohorts can also do the same by replacing the entire user page contents with the following syntax,
#REDIRECT [[Fellow:EXAMPLE]]. You may access your user page at Special:MyPage or from the top bar.
