Taflen Cynnwys |
[golygu] User name
If you create an account, you can pick a username. All edits you will make while being logged in will be assigned to that name. That means you get full credit for your contributions in the page history (when not logged in, the edits are just assigned to your IP address). You can also view all your contributions by clicking the "My contributions" link, which is only visible when you are logged in.
You will have your own user page where you can write a bit about yourself. While Wiktionary is not a homepage provider, you can use this to display a few pictures, writing about your hobbies, etc. Many users use their user page to maintain a list of the articles they are most proud of, or to collect other valuable information from Wiktionary.
You will also have a permanent user talk page you can use to communicate with other users. You will be notified whenever someone writes a message on your talk page. If you choose to give an e-mail address, other users will be able to contact you by e-mail. This feature is anonymous—the user who emails you will not know your e-mail address. You don't have to give your e-mail address if you don't want to, and even if you do, not only it's private by default, but you actually can't make it public on the system (except if you write it yourself explicitly in an article, obviously).
[golygu] Identity implications
When you are not logged in, all your edits are publicly associated with your IP address at the time of that edit. If you log in, all your edits are publicly associated with your account name. They are also still internally associated with your IP address. See Wiktionary's draft privacy policy which has some information on this, but is only a draft.
The privacy implications of this vary, depending on the nature of your Internet Service Provider, local laws and regulations, and the nature and quantity of your edits to Wiktionary. Be aware that Wiktionary technologies and policies are not set in stone.
In any case, people's opinions differ on the desirability of perfect anonymity. Some people find anonymity reduces perceived accountability, which can lead to unproductive behaviour. Some people find contributing without having a fixed identity to be disempowering and unpleasant. Creating an account is one way to resolve such feelings.
[golygu] New editing options
There are many features of the MediaWiki software (which powers Wiktionary) that are only available to registered users. For example, registered users can mark edits as "minor". Minor edits can be filtered from the list of "Recent changes". We do not give the privilege to mark edits as minor to anonymous users because we do not know who is behind a given IP address at any time, so we cannot build a basis of trust. (Marking edits as minor if they are not is considered very rude.)
One very important feature which active contributors will likely use a lot are watchlists. You will get a new link "Watch this page" on every page you view. If you click that link, a page will be added to your watchlist. This list is basically a filtered view of the "Recent changes" page which only shows changes recently made to items in your watchlist. This way you can keep track of pages you work on without having to follow all changes.
Only registered users are allowed to rename pages, a feature that is very important to maintain structure and consistency on Wiktionary.
Also, you must be logged in if you want to upload images.
Some people like it, others don't: Section editing allows you to edit only the part of a page below a header (in this section, the header is the text "New editing options"). This makes it much easier to find the parts you want to edit in the wiki source.
[golygu] Many user preferences
Aside from these features, you can customize the way MediaWiki behaves in great detail. You can change the entire appearance of the website by picking, for example, the previous "Standard" skin over the new default "MonoBook" skin, you can choose how you want mathematical formulas to be displayed, how large the editing box should be, how many pages should be displayed in "Recent changes" and much more.
[golygu] Statws Sysop
Gall Gweinyddwyr (neu sysops) dileu ac ddad-dileu tudalennau, diogleu nhw o cael eu olygu, golygu tudalennau sydd wedi eu ddiogelu, a flocio defnyddwyr am trosedd o'n polisïau ni. They generally carry out the will of the wiki community on pages such as Wiktionary:Votes for deletion. For obvious reasons, only signed in users can become administrators. Usually it is sufficient to have done some semi-regular work on Wiktionary without clashing too much with others. If you are a signed in user and want to be a sysop, see Wiktionary:Requests for adminship.
[golygu] Voting, polls, elections, and reps
While in most Wiktionary polls, anyone can express their opinion, whether logged in or not, your opinion may be given more weight if it is attributed to a fixed identity with a record of sensible commentary and informed edits.
Rules on more formal Wiktionary votes and elections vary, but it is common to restrict formal voting to logged in users.
There will be two users' representatives on the Wikimedia board - one of them represents the interests of all users, where the other represents the interests only of users with an account. Thus, if you have an account, you have a choice of representatives who can intermediate between yourself and the board in cases of dispute.
