Wikinews:Education/core/Creating accounts

If you haven't done so already, it's time to create your Wikinews user account. If editing basics are being covered in class, be sure to create your account ahead of time. Each individual student editor must have their own account.


 * Take a moment to look at Wikinews's page on creating an account and consider how anonymous you would like to be on Wikinews. You need not use your real name, although some Wikinewsies choose to do so.
 * When you've chosen a username, click "Create account" at the top right and follow the instructions.
 * Adding an email address to your account is strongly recommended; this allows you to send and receive emails with other editors. (Your email address is not revealed when other users contact you.) You can also receive email notifications whenever pages you are interested in get changed, if you wish. And if you forget your Wikinews password, you can have it emailed to you — but only if you add your email address to your account!
