Populating Participants' User Pages
A simple method for populating a user page with the welcome template, categories, and headings is to add:
{{subst:EL4C user page|Name=EL4C31}}
subst and Name are required to directly substitute the content into the user page and select the correct welcome template. A suggestion for the summary text is as follows:
Created with Template:EL4C user page. Questions should be directed to your eL4C facilitator.
For more information see Template:EL4C user page and the caution below.

Interwiki links
- I have added a page on interwiki links to Tutorial 5. Comments, additions, typo fixes are all welcome. Rob Kruhlak 19:56, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Proposals
- Since participants are required to create an account before registering to the workshop (see page Register), I don't see the need to teach this topic on Day 2, I rather propose to teach them how to personalize preferences. What do you think? -Gladys Gahona C. 15:30, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
- Which preferences were you thinking of covering? Rob Kruhlak 20:47, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
- Those contained in "User profile" and "Date and time" tabs, we can suggest to keep the rest untouched until they get familarized with the system.--Gladys Gahona C. 21:10, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
- I don't see we have a WikiEd tutorial for preferences. WE can:
- Develop one or
- Develop a help page
- I did not find one either. A help page might be the best place to start ... Things that might be useful for newbies:
- E-mail options (I don't remember what the defaults are any more).
- E-mail (under User Profile)
- What about this help page? Help:My_preferences. I put screenshots of my personal account for exemplification, they can be edited anytime of course. --Gladys Gahona C. 21:03, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Ideas for engaging participants in Wiki Discussions
- Discussions first start at Google groups. eL4C mailing list. Newbies are not familiar with wiki edition.
- From day 3 we should encourage participants to start adding to wiki discussions.

Comments from Other Facilitators
Gladys, it is really awesome that you have created a page for workshop facilitators to be on the same page. I commend you. Some things are so obvious that you don't do them! Warm wishes--Patricia 03:07, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with Patricia. --Nellie Deutsch 04:57, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
