Created page with "=== Getting started === ==== Accounts and contributor bio pages ==== ===== Account and password ===== Unless your organization uses a single organization-wide account for mak..."

New page

=== Getting started ===
==== Accounts and contributor bio pages ====
===== Account and password =====

Unless your organization uses a single organization-wide account for making edits, each contributor will receive a username and bio page. Users set their own password when they open their invitation to set up an account. By default usernames are the editor's first and last name separated by a space, e.g. "Nate Russell". Usernames for organizations' accounts may be the full name of the organization, e.g. "Peoples' Law Schoool", an acronym, e.g. "LSLAP" (for Law Students Legal Advice Program), or program name, e.g. "Dial-A-Law" for the Canadian Bar Association BC Branch's Dial-A-Law program. 

Honorifics, e.g. "Judge" or "QC", are not included in the username, although honorifics can be mentioned elsewhere. If you are an editor but have not yet received an email invitation with your account, contact editor@clicklaw.bc.ca. Editors set their own passwords and can change their email address using the "Preferences" tab. 
 

===== Contributor bio pages =====

Editors and contributors with usernames receive a bio page. See [http://wiki.clicklaw.bc.ca/index.php?title=Category:Contributor_Bio bio page examples]. The bio page will link to your content and include your name and a brief professional biography at a minimum. It may also include a link your firm's website, a profile picture, and contact information (phone, email, social media). Bio pages credit and introduce contributors, but Courthouse Libraries BC must not be seen to be promoting certain lawyers over others. Self-laudatory claims and adjectives should be avoided. To set up the bio page, we require:
* 100-250 word bio
* website URL, email, and social media accounts (optional)
* profile photo portrait at least 150 px wide (optional)
* any phone number, email or social media accounts you want to include
Those who supply no photo will have a generic profile graphic displayed. As a matter of style and for consistency of tone, lawyers are referred to in the third person and by their first name. The Clicklaw Wikibooks coordinator may edit bios for length and tone. 

==== Authors, editors and reviewers ====

===== Setting up your Watchlist and alerts =====
There are thousands of pages on Clicklaw Wikibooks, but are you responsible for more than half a dozen?
Click the star icon on all pages assigned to you (include your contributor bio page). This lets you monitor a page and know if someone changes it or leaves feedback. Do this once for all your pages at the account setup stage, and also ensure that your preferences are set to receive email alerts for changes.

Organizations with one username and account for editing might handle dozens of pages, but organizations should still take this step.

==== Watchlist ====
