  • To create an account for a user, click here.

2. Creating User Template

  • A user template is a computer program that generates the same content on multiple pages.
  • Create a new page and type "template:xyz (xyz here can be the name or initials of the scholar)".
  • Go to the newly created template page, type "[[User:Scholar Name|Scholar Name, Educational degree of the scholar]][mailto:email ID of the scholar]" and save the page.
  • Note down the name of this saved page and share it with the respective scholar.

3. Creating User Sandbox

  • The WikiDoc "sandbox" is meant to be used as a medium to practice basic editing commands.
  • It is recommended that the sandbox should be used alongside training on basic editing.
  • To create a user sandbox, create a new page and type "sandbox:xyz (xyz here can be the name or initials of the scholar)".
  • Note down the name of this saved page and share it with the respective scholar.

4. Assistance and Compliance Check

  • After going through the above mentioned steps, coaches should periodically check on their assigned scholars' progress.
    • This can be achieved by checking on the individual user sandbox or just by simply asking if any assistance is needed.
  • It is crucial to address the concerns and questions of the scholars as they proceed with interacting with the layout and organization of WikiDoc projects.
