Help:Logging in/es

No es necesario acceder para ver páginas, ni tampoco para editarlas. Sin embargo, esto proporciona funcionalidades adicionales y en general los proyectos lo recomiendan.

Resumen
Crear una cuenta de usuario significa proporcionar un nombre de usuario (tu nombre real o un sobrenombre) y una contraseña. El sistema rechazará un nombre de usuario que ya esté en uso. Una cuenta de usuario se crea una sola vez. Después habrás «accedido» o «iniciado la sesión». La próxima vez que accedas proporcionarás tu nombre de usuario de nuevo y demostrarás con la contraseña que eres el propietario de la cuenta.

Las ediciones que realices se registran con el nombre de usuario. Si no has accedido a tu cuenta, las ediciones se registran con tu dirección IP.

¿Por qué acceder?
No es necesario acceder para leer cualquier wiki público de MediaWiki. Ni siquiera necesitas acceder para editar, normalmente: cualquiera puede editar casi todas las páginas, aun sin acceder.

Sin embargo, todavía es una buena idea acceder por diferentes motivos:


 * Other users will be able to recognize you by your username when you make changes to pages. As a "name" an IP address is somewhat clumsy. Also, if you use computers at different locations (home, office, internet cafe, etc.) you have a different IP-address in each case; even in the same location, depending on the Internet connection, the IP-address may be different each time. Therefore a username is better to maintain an identity.


 * You will have your own user page where you can write a bit about yourself, and a user talk page which you can use to communicate with other users.
 * You will be able to mark an edit as minor, which avoids inconvenience for other users.
 * You will be able to keep track of changes to modules you are interested in using a watchlist.


 * No tienes la obligación de proporcionar tu dirección de correo electrónico, pero si lo haces podrás hacer lo siguiente:
 * restablecer tu contraseña si la olvidas,
 * recibir notificaciones automáticas de los eventos que especifiques en las preferencias,
 * recibir mensajes de otros usuarios si lo permites en las preferencias (los usuarios que te escriban no conocerán tu dirección de correo electrónico), y
 * enviar mensajes a otros usuarios (tu dirección no se compartirá con los demás).


 * You will be able to rename pages.
 * You will be able to set your own preferences, to change things such as:
 * the number of pages displayed in Recent changes,
 * the fonts, colors and layout of the site, by using different skins.

Recuerda: comprueba la política de privacidad del sitio que estás visitando, si tiene una (por ejemplo, la política de privacidad de Wikimedia).

Cómo acceder
Primero asegúrate de que el navegador acepte las cookies. Algunos navegadores pueden aceptar o rechazar cookies de sitios determinados. En este caso, configura el navegador de modo que acepte las cookies de cada wiki que tienes intención de editar, como wikipedia.org.

Click on the "Special:Userlogin" link at the top right of the page. You will then be prompted to enter your username and password. If you haven't logged in before, you will need to use the link provided to create an account. You may give your email address if you like.

Si activas la casilla «», no tendrás que dar la contraseña otra vez cuando accedas al mismo wiki de MediaWiki desde la misma computadora. Esta opción funciona únicamente si la contraseña no fue generada automáticamente por el software de MediaWiki.

Problemas de acceso
If you appear to be able to log in, but as soon as you try to look at a page after the 'Log in successful' page you appear logged out again, it is very likely to be a cookie problem. If you are certain that cookies are enabled, make sure that you haven't inadvertently listed the wiki's domain on a list of sites for which cookies are never allowed: this feature is available in all recent browsers. Also make sure your computer's date and time are set correctly; if they are not, cookies may expire before they are supposed to. Note that some firewall and ad-blocking software may interfere with the cookie that the wiki uses to keep a person logged in.

A user may occasionally find him/herself "automatically" logged out in between beginning an edit and saving it, or when switching between multiple pages open in multiple windows. This can be a result of your browser's cookie, cache, or firewall settings. Regardless of the reason for the logout, the simplest solution to the problem is to check the "" box. If you do this on a computer that can be accessed by more than one person (i.e. at the library, at work, at school), please find and erase your user ID cookies after your editing session.

¿Qué pasa si olvido la contraseña o el nombre de usuario?
If you enter an email address when signing up for the account, or in your Preferences, you can make a request on the login screen for a temporary password to be sent to that address, which will allow you to retrieve your account. If you did not enter an email address, or the address was out of date, you will have to create a new account under a different username. After doing this, if a user page and user talk page were created for the old account, it is advisable to make them redirect to the equivalent pages for the new account. (To carry the content and history of these pages over to the new location, you may be able to use the "move" function ─ contact an administrator if assistance is needed.)

Creación de una cuenta
To create an account, select "Special:Userlogin" (top right of page) then "Special:CreateAccount". You usually need only provide a username and password. Some wikis require a visual captcha (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart). Users with text, speech, or certain old browsers will be unable to create an account if they can not view this image. If you are unable to view captchas, contact an administrator.

You may also be unable to create an account if it contains certain symbols (particularly the '@' symbol, as well as certain non-Latin characters) or words, or if it is too similar to that of an existing user. You may then be able to request that an account is created for you by contacting an administrator, depending on the wiki's own policies and systems. If your IP address has account creation blocked, you may be able either to request to be unblocked or to request an account.

Familias de wikis y sesión unificada
Some projects using MediaWiki software form a family in the sense that one logs in to the family as a whole; the functioning of their systems can vary considerably. If you are interested in one of Wikimedia Foundation's wikis (such as Wikipedia), you might want to read further at: Unified login.

Finalizar la sesión
You can log out any time by clicking on the "" link at the top right of the page. To prevent the browser from remembering your username and suggesting it to the next user of the computer, remember to delete the wiki's cookies in your browser's privacy settings. Especially if you are using a public computer, you may want to delete all of the browser's recent history (Ctrl+Shift+Del in Firefox).

La mayoría de los wikis finalizan las sesiones de los usuarios automáticamente después de un cierto período. Si esto sucede mientras estás intentando guardar una edición, normalmente verás un mensaje que te avisará de que se cerró la sesión.
