Making Your User Page (Github)
Even though the wiki is now a static site with no accounts or live elements, users and their contributions are still tracked! The }}">Users List{tags="" user="" “=”"} is where you can see every user’s contribution count and user page link. It is not required to make a user page, but you are free to put whatever you want ^within reason^ on there if you do. This link will show up anywhere on the site that mentions you.
Steps
-
First go into the editor, you can just click “Edit Page” up top. (Or open Visual Studio Code if you’re doing this locally)
-
Open the file menu on the top left and go to the
/content/users
folder. You should see a list of user .html files. -
Right click the
users
folder and hit “Add New File”. Name it toyourusername.html
. -
Next, add this into the file as the parameters.
+++ title = "" draft = false tags = ["User"] startDate = "" +++
-
Set
title
to be your username you use across the site. This is case-sensitive so make sure it’s consistent! Keepdraft
andtags
the same as they are, and setdate
updated to today’s date any time you change the article. The date is formatted likestartDate = "2024-12-31"
-
Anything below the
+++
is free for you to write. Introduce yourself and such! After that you’re basically done, commit the changes and pull request to the site. -
Once your user page is up it will also auto-populate with a link to every article you’ve contributed to. Over time more automated lists may show up on your page.
