User Preferences

This page describes how you can change the user defaults of the wiki. Not all options may be changeable if the fields have been disabled by the wiki administrators. After you have logged in (see HelpOnLogin) your name will be displayed.

The various fields in user preferences (see Opciones link in the navigation area of the page) are described below:

• Nombre: Either your real name or an alias. Best is to use WikiName format. Must be unique.

• Alias-Nombre: If your login name (see above) is cryptic due to technical reasons, you can give your real name here. It will be only used for display purposes.

• Contraseña: Something you can remember but is very hard for friends and family to guess.

• Repetir contraseña para validarla: if you initially set or later change your password, repeat it here to avoid typos.

• e-Mail: Your email address, this is required if you wish to subscribe to wiki pages or wish to have a forgotten login data mailed to you. Must be unique.

• URL de CSS del usuario (si no sabes qué es CSS, déjala en blanco): If you want to override some of the wiki system's css, put your own CSS here (UTF-8 or ASCII).

• Tamaño del Editor: This controls the size of the text area when you edit a page. Adjust this to suit the size of your monitor and your personal preferences.

• Tema preferido: choose a theme to change colours, icons and layout of the wiki

• Preferencias De Editor: the editor you prefer, either "text" or "gui"

• Editor a mostrar: which editor(s) are shown on the user interface, either elección libre or el/la preferido/a.

• Zona horaria: ...

  • Tu hora es: If the correct time is not displayed, use the drop down box and select the correct time.

  • La hora del servidor es: Displays the server time.

• Formato de fecha: The default of year-month-day is least confusing for international use.

• Idioma preferido: The default is taken from your browser setting. It is advisable to set this to a specific language anyway, since then you get notification mails in your native tongue, too.

• Opciones generales: ...

  • Añadir espacios entre los NombresWiki mostrados: If checked, makes WikiNames look like Wiki Names. DEPRECATED.

  • After login jump to last visited page: If checked, jumps to the last page in your trail after login.

  • Desactivar esta cuenta para siempre (usualmente, sólo lo hace un administrador): If checked, you can't login again with this account. Think first.

  • Abrir el editor con doble click: Handy if you edit a lot of pages.

  • Publicar mi e-Mail (no mi página wiki) en la información de autor: in case you have no wiki home page.

  • Recordar tu información de ingreso (no será necesario volver a ingresar usuario y contraseña, pero puede ser un problema de seguridad en computadoras compartidas): When you set this, the cookie won't expire at midnight.

  • Mostrar secciones de comentarios: When checked: show comments (and toggle to comments off), otherwise do not show comments (and toggle to comments on).

  • Mostrar diferencias adornadas: Makes diffs more readable.

  • Mostrar íconos de la barra de herramientas: Provides a row of icon links in the upper right corner.

  • Mostrar ''camino'' de últimas páginas visitadas: Lists the last five pages visited at the top of the page, so you can jump back several pages easily.

  • Mostrar signo de interrogación en enlaces a páginas inexistentes: Display a highlighted ? in front of a non-existent page instead of a color-coded page name.

  • Mostrar enlaces arriba/abajo en las cabeceras: If checked, every title bar will have an up and down arrow to navigate to top or bottom of page.

  • Subscribe to trivial changes: If checked, you will be notified even if editor said it was a trivial change.

• Enlaces rápidos: Overrides the standard choices in the gray navigation bar at the top of the page. Enter one Wiki page name per line. You may also add free-form links, i.e. entries of the form [url linktext] just like in wiki pages.

• Subscribed wiki pages (one regex per line): Enter .* to receive an email when any page in this Wiki changes (not recommended for busy wikis), or enter the names of any individual pages, one per line. If you are familiar with regular expressions, you may enter a regex expression to match the pages names of interest (.* matches all page names). You can also just click on the Suscribirse link or icon in the theme when viewing the page you want to subscribe. For more details please see HelpOnSubscribing.

  This is an optional feature that only works when email support has enabled for this wiki, see HelpOnConfiguration/EmailSupport for details.
