If you want to have safety against lost passwords, you can set an e-mail address in your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]] page that can be used to reset your password at any time.  This e-mail address should '''not''' be your FeministWiki e-mail address, since you need your FeministWiki password to use that one.  (Chicken and egg problem!)  The e-mail address you set in your user preferences will be invisible to all but the FeministWiki technician.

''Forum front-page: https://forum.feministwiki.org/''


An internet forum or web forum is a website that allows members to create "topics" (also called "threads") to discuss a certain matter.  Once a topic is created, other members can reply (or "post") to the topic to add their insights.  There is no limit to what these topics may be about, so the forum usually offers a number of categories (or "sub forums") under which the topics are grouped.

The blog uses a self-hosted installation of the well-known blogging software [https://wordpress.com/features/ WordPress].  While the WordPress organization controls blogs that are hosted on their own servers, they also release the software behind their blogging system under a [https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software free software] license, which anyone can install on their own servers.  The FeministWiki has such a local installation of that software, meaning that the WordPress organization has no control over what's published on the FeministWiki blog.  As such, you don't need to fear censorship.
