| + | * Edit __your own "user page"__ (after it has been created by administrator) for informing the others about yourself (note the **"<yournick>"** link in the right upper corner), | ||
| + | * **Editor:** Editors are keeping the Library alive. Ideally, an editor is a person interested in keeping a group of pages up to date. Editors can change most of the pages. (//See below how to become an editor.// Some users become promoted to an editor without even knowing it.) | ||
| + | * **Supereditor:** A supereditor has a full control over most of the pages. | ||
