Starting Your User Page
- Perhaps your user page is the most comfortable place for you to start editing. A brief description of who you are and what you are doing will help others feel comfortable with your edits and may even lead to productive collaborations.
- To access your user page, log in, then click on your username at the top right of any OpenWetWare page. Then, click on the tab. If nothing has been added to your page you will be brought directly to the edit screen.
Formatting
- Breaking up your page into different sections will make it much easier to read. If you create enough different sections, a table of contents like the one at the top of this page will be created automatically.

Set Up Your Lab Wiki
Create Accounts For Your Fellow Lab Members
- If you are setting up your lab's wiki, ask your lab to sign up for accounts. You can also ask us to be an administrator, if you want to setup everyone ahead of time on the wiki. Once you are an administrator, there are instructions on how to go about adding individual users on the help pages.
Redirect Your Lab Site
- Redirecting your lab website to wiki allows for the entire lab to be responsible for maintaining the lab website; any member of the lab can easily edit and improve the site. The navigation bar, such as the one on the Endy research page, is useful for traversing through webpages within the site and gives some continuity to the lab pages.
Organize Internal Lab Functions
- Use your wiki page for lab internal functions such as lab meetings, retreats, lab chores, ordering, etc. Every member in the lab can access and edit from anywhere. Communication of administration matters are easy now!
Orient New Lab Members
- Post information for new lab members. This is especially useful for large labs that have a steady influx of new people and visitors. Direct new members/visitors to a site to save time!
