What is Avatars?
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.
Usage / Features
- Avatars can be generated using:
- InstantAvatar - random, image contains initials of user's name
- Identicon - not random, represent a visual value of a user's IP address
- Size of an avatar can be adjusted
Generate an avatar:
You don't have to do anything. The system will generate an avatar automatically when a user is newly created. This picture will be saved as a .jpg file and will be used as profile picture.
Change the avatar:
In the dialogue window to change your profile picture your will find the possibility to generate a new avatar. The system will notify you with the status "A new avatar has been created". The dialogue window will then close automatically.
Delete the avatar and upload your own profile picture:
Click on Browse in the dialogue window to choose a picture (.png). Click on upload to use the chosen picture as your avatar.
If you prefer to use an automatically generated avatar later on, just click on the button "Generate new avatar".
Avatars is closely connected with the function Authors.

MediaWiki per se does not offer such a feature.
