==Wiki Account==
===Wiki User Page===
Every team member must will have their own personal wikipage, detailing their administrative information and professional/academic background, alongside a short autobiography. Refer to [[Dylan_Dickens | Dylan's Wikipage]] for inspiration. Or take a look at the [[:Category:McNair_Staff | old staff list]].
Create your own Wikipage by going to [[Form:Team Member]] and filing out the form. On the first page of the form '''use your Full Name with spaces''' (like Ed Egan), not your username. Fill out the fields. For the image, upload one (see "Upload file" in the left Wiki sidebar) and just put the name of the file in the box (e.g. YourPic.jpg). Do not put your phone number on your Wikipage. Instead add it to [[Team Contact Information]], which is only accessible internally.
Then create a work log page for yourself and add a link to it from your profile page. For more details see [[Writing your Work Log]]. Finally go to your user page (click your username at the top of the page), edit that page and include the following line:
<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Full Name]]</nowiki>
*[[Help:Editing Content | Basic Wiki Markup Guide]]
*[[Administration]] - Contains links to forms and templates.
* When in doubt, contact [[Janice Hoggs| Janice]] or [[Ed Egan| contact Ed]] or ask a friend!

You should may also be creating and editing pages to keep track of projects. Create a project using [[Form:Project]], or by manually adding [[Template:Project]] to an existing pagecomponents. If you try to create a page that already exists the form More information will redirect you to edit that page. If you want to secure your be provided on creating pages, add them to [[:Category:Internal]] or some other appropriate category, so that they are available only to authorized users. Never put a password on a wikipage, even if it is secure. It will be in that page's history for all time. Instead, put a password hint and make sure that Ed or Janice (or someone in a management role) records the password in the master list.
==Working with the infrastructure==
