Include such things as:
While a wiki user page can be created with just plain text, you'll likely want to add some headings, bold text, or a picture. These can all be added using markup. Every page on this wiki is made of this markup, so you can use any of them as an example. You may also consider visiting [[Help:Editing]] to read a more thorough guide on how to construct pages.


* Your full name
If you're interested in examples, this [[Template:Userpage|user page template]] provides a basic layout that you can copy. You can also look at the markup for other users' pages. Here's a selection of some that have stood out:
* Email address - fas_username@fedoraproject.org works well
* Location - include city, state/province and country as applicable
* What do you do in real life (A student, an engineer...)
* What you do in the Fedora Project (or would like to do) including but not limited to ambassador work.
* Please provide information in our common Language - English!
 
==Need help?==
There are plenty of good resources for creating a wiki user page.  If you don't understand the wiki syntax, consider visiting [[Help:Editing]] to get started.
 
The best way to get started is to create your user page on the Fedora Project Wiki.  Below are a few resources where you can just click ''edit'' on the page, then cut and paste into your user page.
 
The best starting point is to visit [[Template:Userpage|template]]. It generally has the most complete examples of what a Wiki User page should look like.  
 
However you may copy from anyone who has a nice page, here are a few examples:
* [[User:Jsimon]]
* [[User:Jsimon]]
* [[User:Ianweller]]
* [[User:Ianweller]]
* [[User:Pfrields]]
* [[User:Pfrields]]
* [[User:Kaio]]

This is not the Ambassadors Join Start Page, go there first!
Requires CLA+1 status to complete
To edit the wiki, you now have to have CLA+1 status (which means you belong to another group in FAS than the CLA-related groups). If you are unable to edit the wiki, skip this step and work with your mentor on a temporary workaround. When you are able, you need to have a biography on your user page.

Creating your user page lets you introduce yourself to the Fedora community. These pages let you collect useful information, like your email, your real name, or your IRC nick, in a public place so that others may contact you. You may also put helpful links, code snippets, or anything else that you want to share. Your user page is your own space, so feel free to make it look as you wish. Here's what you'll need to do to create your user page:

  1. Go to your user page.
  2. Click create, at the top, to start editing your user page. If you've already created a user page, click edit.
  3. Write your introduction in the textbox. Your introduction can contain whatever you'd like, but please write in English.
  4. When you're finished writing, click Save page

Here's some ideas on what you can include in your introduction:

  • Email address
  • Homepage or blog
  • IRC channels you're typically in
  • What you do, or would like to do, in the Fedora Project

While a wiki user page can be created with just plain text, you'll likely want to add some headings, bold text, or a picture. These can all be added using markup. Every page on this wiki is made of this markup, so you can use any of them as an example. You may also consider visiting Help:Editing to read a more thorough guide on how to construct pages.

If you're interested in examples, this user page template provides a basic layout that you can copy. You can also look at the markup for other users' pages. Here's a selection of some that have stood out:
