Before the creation, edition and comment of pages is possible, a user account must be set up = registration. That's quickly done!
Create user account
- Click on "Log in / create account" (top right)
- Click on request one ("To obtain a user account, you must request one.")
- Choose user name and e-mail address.. System notifications will be sent to this e-mail address (e.g. the confirmation e-mail for the user account, notifications when one of the pages you visit is modified, etc.) Please think carefully before choosing your user name; it cannot be changed later on.
- Write your real name and a short biography in 50 words. (You can at first fill in the space with a dummy text and later on update it.)
- If you would like to provide additional information, you can go ahead and do it.
- Read and agree to the terms of use, solve the arithmetical problem and send out the form.
- Confirm your e-mail address through the confirmation link, that is sent to you per e-mail.
- As a next step, the administrator will confirm your account. Please allow at least 24 hours for this.
- Your temporary password will be submitted to you by e-mail, and you must change it automatically the first time you log in.
- Once you are logged in, you can get started.
Problems while creating a user account?
- I didn't receive a confirmation e-mail.
- You might have entered an incorrect e-mail address, in which case your account must be deleted and you set up a new one. Contact TangoWiki's technical team. Tip: Check your spam folder first.
- I cannot login yet.
- Your account has to be manually confirmed by an administrator. Please allow at least 24 hours for this.
