 If you want your name to appear in the list, rather than the <tt>User:</tt> prefix and your MediaWiki userid, follow these steps:
-* Construct a URL consisting of <nowiki>"http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/"</nowiki> plus your name, where spaces in your name are replaced by underscore (_) characters. For example, if your name was "First Last", the URL would be <nowiki>"http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/First:Last"</nowiki>

 * Visit that URL. If you get a page that says "There is currently no text in this page...", then ''your'' page does not yet exist, and you can proceed with the next step. If you find that the page <i>does</i> already exist, then you will have to go back to the prior step and select a ''different name'' (e.g. perhaps add your middle initial).
 * Add your name, interests, occupation, links to your homepage, project and work pages and maybe a picture.
