When you first sign on to the wiki, you'll see that your name at the very top of the page is linked to in red. It's red because you don't have a user profile set up yet.

To create a user profile, click on the red link and then select "edit this page," just as you would for any other wiki page.

Then paste in something like the following text, replacing the sample URL with your Glitch profile page. This will create a link to your Glitch profile.

*Glitch user profile: http://alpha.glitch.com/profiles/Pxxxxxxxxxx/


You can put lots more in your profile page if you want to, including:

  • A picture of your avatar:
  • Drag the picture of your avatar from the Alpha home page onto your desktop
  • Use the "Upload file" link in the left sidebar to upload it
  • Use code like this to put it on your user profile: [[File:xxxxxxxx.png|link=http://alpha.glitch.com/profiles/Pxxxxxxxxxx/]]
  • A link to your email address. The source code for that looks like: [mailto://your@address.com your@address.com]
  • A link to your glitch auctions page. See the Help:Links article for more information on formating links.
  • A description of what you like to do in-game
  • A description of what kind of edits you enjoy making to the wiki
  • External links to any personal websites you might be particularly proud of

We strongly encourage that you limit your profile to a single page.

To see examples of other profiles, you might want to click around the Special:ActiveUsers page.
