Your page
While most users will use user names, utter anonymity kills the idea of a community wiki. So when you have edited your first page, go to the Recent Changes page and click on your user name. A page for your details will come up. You don't need to put your real name but let other editors and users know something about you and your interests.
Setting the date
By default Waihekepedia will use GMT. This will be evident if the recent changes is 12 hours out. To set the date click here. Click "time zone" Click the "fill in from browser" button and click save.
