RACKWiki is a harm-reductive educational resource open to any contributors. While we acknowledge that we cannot eliminate accidents, we believe the more educated and well-rounded we are as practitioners, the more we can reduce harm in our community. | |||
== Getting Started == | |||
=== Create an Account === | |||
An account is required to contribute to RACKWiki. | |||
# [https://rackwiki.org/wiki/Special:CreateAccount Create an account] with username, password, and email. While you may use a pseudonym for your username, an active email is required. | |||
# Confirm your email address. Confirmation email may be located in your spam folder. Resend confirmation email from the email portion of your preferences page if needed. | |||
While new users may immediately begin editing and creating within the site, those changes will not be published until they have been approved by an editor. After multiple successful contributions, the user will be granted author level access which will allow the user to publish directly without review of an editor. | |||
