They will apply only when you are logged in. The default wiki sysop admin login name is: WikiSysop.
Some MediaWiki projects form a family in the sense that one logs in into the family as a whole, and that common preference settings apply. Notably this is the case for the more than 1000 Wikia projects. On Wikimedia projects logging in and setting preferences are currently done separately on each wiki. You may find it convenient to specify the same preferences on each wiki that you use, but this is not necessary. See also Single signon transition.

User data
User data Your email*: ... o Register email Your nickname (for signatures): ... o Raw signatures (without automatic link) Interface language: English Change password Old password: ... New password: ... Retype new password: ... o Remember password across sessions * Real name (optional): if you choose to provide it this will be used for giving you attribution for your work. * Email (optional): Enables people to contact you through the website without you having to reveal your email address to them, and it can be used to send you a new password if you forget it.
- Your e-mail: You may optionally register your e-mail address (it will not be shown publicly on the site). This will enable you to reset your password by clicking the "Mail me a new password" box on the log in screen, if you forget it. Additionally, it will enable other registered users to send e-mail to you from the "E-mail this user" link on your user page unless you've checked the disable box (see below).
- Disable e-mail from other users: If you check this, users will not be able to send you e-mail by way of the "E-mail this user" feature.
Your nickname
Although your username is not necessarily your real name and could therefore be called a nickname, the term "nickname" is used here for a name you may optionally specify, different from your username, for when you enter your signature with ~~~ or ~~~~.
(If you use the edit toolbar for signing, remember that it gives two dashes before the four tildes.)
Raw signatures
However, there is even more versatility. You can use any text as your nickname. From MediaWiki 1.5 the behaviour of signatures has changed. In older versions of MediaWiki, wiki and HTML markup could be entered in signatures, even without "Raw signatures" being checked. So entering "]] | [[User talk:Name|Talk" as your signature would have also included a link to your talk page in your signature, producing an effect similar to: "Name | Talk". This is now no longer the case.
If "Raw signatures (without automatic link)" is unchecked, then
- The software enters "[[User:Name|" in front of, and "]]" after your nickname text.
- Any characters in your nickname that would otherwise constitute Wiki markup and HTML markup are escaped as HTML character entities. A nickname of "]] | [[User talk:Name|Talk" will thus produce a signature of "]] | [[User talk:Name|Talk", which is probably not what you want.
If "Raw signatures" is checked, then
- Nothing is added to the text that you specify. What you specify is what is used between the two dashes and the timestamp.
- Wiki markup and HTML markup are not escaped, allowing you to include links, font tags, images, and templates in your signature.
Invalid raw signatures
You may find the following message displayed in your user preferences:
- Invalid raw signature; check HTML tags.
This means you are using invalid HTML markup on your signature. Some possible causes with their corresponding solutions:
- Unclosed tags
- If you are opening a tag without the corresponding closing tag (for instance:
[[User:Example|<font color="white">Example]]), you should close the tag (for instance:[[User:Example|<font color="white">Example</font>]]). It's also a good idea to put the tags outside the link if possible (for instance:<font color="white">[[User:Example|Example]]</font>). - Mismatched or incorrectly nested tags
- If the tags are mismatched (for instance:
<s><u>hi</s></u>), fix them (for instance:<s><u>hi</u></s>). - Unquoted attributes
- It's also recommended to use quotes on all attributes (for instance, use
<font color="white"></font>instead of<font color=white></font>). - Unclosed entities
- If you have a HTML entity which is lacking the final
;, you need to add it; if you have a bare&, it must be replaced by&(a bare&is always a mistake in either HTML or wikicode). - Unescaped special characters
- If you are using one of
&,<, or>, and want it shown as text, it must be escaped as&,<, or>, respectively.
Using images and templates in signatures
Note that changes in the images and templates are retroactive, which on one hand may be confusing, but on the other hand, to rectify annoying signatures, may be convenient. To avoid retroactivity, use a new image or template name. Do not create a signature template in the article or template namespace: instead use a subpage of your own userpage such as sig, and link it with "{{User:Name/sig}}".
In the case of a common signature on several projects, as in Wikicities, remember that templates are project-specific. Thus, if a signature contains a template call, to make it work in all projects, a template is needed in each (these may be copies, but the content can also be different for each project). Note also that links may lead to a different page, depending on the project in which you put the signature, even if you use interwiki link style. For example, India:User talk:John leads to the page User talk:John on India, except from the India project, where it leads to India:User talk:John in the India namespace. Therefore you may want to use external link style, or make a redirect such that the final target of the link is always the same.
Signature content
Check the rules of your project (for example, for the English Wikipedia see w:Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages) and note that:
- using another nickname than your username is confusing (the page history shows your username, not your nickname)
- if you show your username as an image, or with letters replaced by special characters, even if the name is still readable, searching a talk page for your username will fail
- excessive signatures may clutter talk pages
- drawing excessive attention to yourself may create the impression that you find yourself more important than other people
Password
To change your password, enter your old password, the new password, and the new password a second time. (If you're merely changing the other preferences, you do not need to enter your password.)
- Remember password across sessions. Enabling this feature will place an HTTP cookie in your browser's cache, which will allow MediaWiki to recognize you each time you visit the page. You will not have to log in each time you visit.
If you want to use remember my password you have to change your password if it was generated by Mediawiki and emailed to you. This is a security feature but very often causes trouble for new users.
I bow down humbly in the presence of such graentses.

Notes
If you want to change your username, it is recommended that you do this retroactively in the sense that your previous user contributions are recorded under the new name. Users and sysops cannot do this, one can ask a bureaucrat to do so. Signatures are not changed and therefore will no longer match page histories of the talk pages concerned. However, you can edit signatures manually. Also other occurrences of your name on talk pages are not retroactively changed. The deletion log and the upload log are not altered.
Account deletion is not possible.
You cannot indicate personal information (such as your real name) here, but you may do so on a page named after your username in the User: namespace. (That's available as a link on the line which says "You are logged in as user WhatsYourName" above the preferences panel. Feel free to start your own page with anything you want to say about yourself on it.)
Browser preferences
Browsers usually also allow you to specify preferences, e.g. font size and font type. The standard skin is compatible with your browser setting of font size and font type. The Cologne Blue skin has most text in a fixed font size, ignoring your browser setting. Some browsers, e.g. IE, allow you to specify that font size specified in the web page is ignored. In that case the font size in Cologne Blue is as specified in the browser, but with the line height not adjusted accordingly. Therefore a large font gives a messy result.
This aritlce went ahead and made my day.
