Using this wiki

Click on any image in the wiki to zoom in to full size.

Getting a user account

  • You need an account to log into the wiki and add your entry in friends of osho.

Anonymous account creation has been disabled to prevent vandalism.


Once you have an account, please introduce yourself.
Unused accounts will be deleted after a few weeks.

Please look around and get to know this wiki before you start making changes.

Discussion tab

Q: what are the "discussion" tabs/pages for ?

A: they are a space to discuss the page you are looking at, nothing else. Every page in the wiki has a discussion/talk page attached to it, incl this help page. They are usually used by several authors to discuss changes to the actual page to avoid "editing wars".

Adding new pages

Q: How do I add a new page?

A: first log in to the Wiki with your account. Then:

  • Search for the desired title of your new wiki page (ie. Red Roses) to make sure it isn't already used. Enter the name in the search box at the left side <<===.
  • If the page does not yet exist, you will get Search Results that say : No page title matches. There is no page titled "Red Roses". You can create this page.
  • Click on You can create this page. You then get another page called Editing Red Roses.
  • Fill in the page text and Preview the page. When you are happy with it, save it.

Adding personal pages

Q: How do I add my page(s) under the Name, Location or Topic categories?

A: When you edit a page, add at the bottom of the page any number of "category" entries (incl. the square brackets):

For example, the following entries will list "Ma Prem Rose" in the "Browse by Name" section of the wiki

[[category:Names|Rose, Ma Prem]]

the "Browse by Location" section under the town of "New York"

[[category:New York|Rose, Ma Prem]]

and the "Browse by Topic" section under "Computers & Internet"

[[category:Computers & Internet|Rose, Ma Prem]]

You may list your page under as many Topics as you see fit, but only under one Location.
General articles (non-user-pages) should only be listed under Topics, unless they refer to a specific Location.

Center information

If you have a center, add your ongoing events on your center page in the wiki and add your current events in the News section of the wiki.

Use the Community Portal to start informal chit chats with friends in your area.
You can use the Community Portal like a sandbox and add new pages with any title you like.
