Help talk:User page

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

User pages on a new installation of Wikimedia do not always allow users to access and edit their own or other people's user pages. A common error I encounter is the Wiki asking them to log in even though they are logged in and never allowing them access to the user page. Does anyone know why?


Error:

You must login to view other pages.

[edit] Registering User Account

I am able to log into Wikimedia and use my user name to leave comments. I added information to my user page. However, when I just returned to my user page, I find only the message: "User account "Rpclod" is not registered." No information is provided as to what "not registered" means. If I can log in using that user name, I would think that I am registered. What do I need to do? Should some additional hyperlinks be embedded in the message to assist its recipients? I do not recall observing this issue with Wikipedia.--Rpclod 12:49, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Can you link to the page where the message showed up ? –Krinkletalk 15:55, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
