Getting started
Creating an account
- Open
/register(the Create an account button at the top of the page). - Enter a display name, an email address and a password.
- Submit: your account exists immediately, you are signed in, and a confirmation email is sent to the address you gave.
The display name appears next to your contributions. The address is never published: it is used for signing in and for notifications.
Password requirements. Twelve characters at minimum, and the interface rejects the most common passwords. A password manager does the job perfectly well; nothing obliges you to invent one you can memorise.
Confirming your address
The email you receive contains a link to /verify/<token>. Open it: the page confirms the address
and takes you back to your dashboard.
If the link has expired, or the email never arrived:
- a banner at the top of every page reminds you the address is not confirmed, with a Resend the link button;
- the same action exists in Account → Email address;
- a new send is only possible after a delay (five minutes by default). The button then answers that a link was sent recently: that is deliberate, so that a public form cannot be used to flood someone’s inbox.
Nothing is blocked while the address is unconfirmed: you can write, create quizzes and revise. Only email notifications depend on that confirmation.
Signing in, signing out
/loginfor the classic sign-in.- If the instance offers single sign-on, one button per provider appears under the form (for example “Sign in with Keycloak”).
- Forgotten password:
/forgot. Enter your address; if an account exists, a link arrives. The message shown is deliberately identical in both cases, so as not to reveal which addresses are registered. - Signing out: account menu, top right.
Repeated wrong passwords lock the account temporarily. The lock message only appears after a correct password: that is a protection against account enumeration, not a reprimand.

Language, theme, accessibility
- The language selector in the footer offers twelve languages. The choice is remembered by the browser; Arabic switches the whole interface to right-to-left writing.
- The theme follows the system setting by default (light or dark) and can be forced.
- The whole interface can be driven from the keyboard. Tab moves forward, Shift + Tab moves back, Enter activates, and the first Tab offers “Skip to content” to jump past the navigation.
What a signed-out visitor sees
Public wikis and quizzes can be read without an account, including published wiki pages. A visitor cannot write, cannot play a quiz reserved for signed-in users, and cannot see a draft.
