Avatars assigns an automatically generated individual profile picture for every user. This prevents that users who did not upload a profile picture to be depicted with the same standard profile picture. This makes it easier to distinguish between the Authors below an article.
Where do I find Avatars?[edit | edit source]
If you are already registered, just click on the user symbol "My Account" 
in the upper right corner of the wiki. On the lower part of your user page you will find a button to change your profile picture. Click on it to open a dialogue window.
Screenshot: On the user page you can change your profile picture by clicking on "Change profile picture".
