TLUG Wiki Edit HOWTO

Groups

We currently have 4 tiers of groups on this wiki

• tlug-admin - Have the power of a mediawiki bureaucrat + sysop. Only tlug-admins can approve users into 'tlug' group status.
• tlug - Authenticated users with normal mediawiki user rights
• user - May only view the wiki, can start talks (ok?)
• anonymous - May only view the wiki, no edits at all

Becoming a TLUG User

1. Create a wiki user account
2. Make sure to authenticate yourself
3. An email will be sent to the wiki admins pending for approval
4. Wait to be approved into the tlug group
5. Edit to your heart's content

Becoming a TLUG Admin User

The same as Normal Users but you also need to become approved as a tlug wiki admin. Ask on the TLUG admin mailing list until we have a process in place.

Getting Started

1. Create your user page so people can know who you are (create a user page even if you want to remain anonymous, even if you just put a witty remark there). Example: User:Jmglov
