When you create an account on Wikiotics, we create a user page area just for you.
Think of user pages as a personal wiki section. No one else can edit pages in your section so you can build or collect lessons there and know that they will always stay as you left them. Feel free to copy any other lessons on your user pages and tinker with them, or build your own material to share with students and colleagues.
If you want to copy a page into your user page section:
- Open the page you want to copy
- Click on the “copy” tab at the top of the page
- In the “
Target page name” box enter “user:YOURUSER/PageName”
So, if my user name is ian and I want to copy the
community-built Weather lesson over to my user page
section and call it IntroWeather, I would enter this into the copy box
user:ian/IntroWeather
While only you can edit pages in your user page section, other people are able to view and copy your lessons as usual. This keeps your materials exactly as you left them in your section, while still allowing the community to build from and grow your contributions.
If you would like to make it easier for other users to find your lessons, consider making a page to keep track of all your lessons like this one and adding it to our Community List.
