        Why do some User Pages names have a number after them? Mine doesn't but I've noticed that some others do.

          In case anyone's interested, once you've sussed out how the system works, you can go to Wikipedia and add or edit anything you like (provided that it's suitable for an online encyclopaedia).

          It will be checked by somebody eventually, and I think new users are monitored fairly carefully to begin with to make sure they don't add rubbish.

            Its one of the scad tasks, Mary.
            We tend to keep an eye on who has put what and where, check spellings, if neds be, and that things have been put where they should be.

            It helps keep everything tidy and find-able again.

            Is find-able a word?:o

              Thats ok, sometimes it doesnt matter, but I checked your page and noticed how you had set it out, and when it was saved it didnt resemble your "order", but when you come to add more, or even a pic then you will have abetter idea..

              Wendy,

              I don't know, is the honest answer, it might be something that is wiki specific.. I know that some usernames in wiki do have numbers after them, it might be their actual user number? ( when you join, you get a number that is assigned to you automatically) could it be this?

              you can check the number against your own, or any other member by making a note of that number in wiki and then coming back to this site and finding that member and clicking on send a PM, in the url their username will be displayed alongside their usernumber.

                I know the Scads keep an eye on the FTF wiki, Jess, I was referring to the fact that once you know how it works, you can do the same thing on Wikipedia .

                  You are right Julie. I've just checked it out and they have the same number.

                      Ok I've found the wike and peoples pages. Assuming I found it via google how would I then contact the person? Hope I'm not being stupid but its taken me a while to work it out.

                      Don't answer that question I just found the email this user link. However if the person who finds the page isn't an FTF user how do they contact?

                        wow, I did not realise I could do this - now I will have to spend more time on the computer and work out all my names etc etc.

                        I have not used the Wiki very much. Having been researching for 9 years, I pretty much know where i need to go next, just cannot do it physically from Australia, so there's probably lots in the Wiki I am missing out on.

                            Since the 'wiki quiz' stopped, I am guilty of not using it often, although I do when I am stuck!

                              Folks,
                              Looking at the top of the page, your user page is the one behind 'your own name' - click on it - can you have a go on that one, not the one that says 'My Talk'

                              have a look here

                                I didn't know about this either!! Thanks to Merry and her budgie (or was OC's? - I got a bit confused) I'm fairly confident that I can go off and set up my Wiki page. Of course I may be back and eating humble pie...or bird seed, when I can't do it at all!!
