Anonymous Access

Anyone can view the contents of this wiki. If you never want to edit content or create a page for yourself, then you can continue to access it in readonly mode. Pages will appear without an "Edit this page" link when you view them.

Identifying Yourself

Users of this wiki are automatically assigned a numeric id. To identify yourself with this id, select the "Preferences" link at the top of any wiki page. Enter your user name. Customarily, this is a WikiWord? comprising your first and last names, like CharliePoole - but don't use that name, it's taken. :-)

When you set up your preferences, you may also choose from a number of options that take effect whenever you are logged in. You may also enter the edit password (see below) on this page.

Logging In

Normally, your user id is saved in a cookie on your system and you do not need to do anything further to log in when you access the wiki. But if the system fails to identify you through a saved cookie, you will be treated as a new, anonymous user until you identify yourself.

To explicitly log into the wiki, follow this link: http://seattlexp.org?action=login. You will need to know your numeric user id and the saved password. If you forgot one or the other, you can set up a new id or contact an administrator to attempt to recover your old one.

We'll have more on this later - possibly a list of users and user ids. CharliePoole

Editing Pages

We require a password for editing pages in order to prevent automated spamming. Before you can edit any pages, you must enter the edit password on the preferences page. Enter "adoptxp" in the box labeled "Administrator Password." Note that you should not use this as your personal password - select something else.

The password may be changed from time to time. You can always find the current password on this page.
