{| {{UsualTable}}
|'''email''' || Required for contact
|-
|'''time zone''' || e.g. UTC+1 for France, UTC-8 for California, etc.
|-
|'''languages''' || (optional) Languages preferred, if not only English &nbsp;
|-
|'''date added''' &nbsp; || To see how long you have been waiting for a mentor &nbsp;

The wiki editor has a "Show preview" button at the bottom of the editor window. In this way you can preview your changes without saving them.

But you added yourself already correctly to the wiki page.

Welcome to the forum Kooltrade,
- and even more warmly welcome with your effort to contribute :P

For practising wiki, when you are logged in to the wiki you can click your user name under the blue top banner, to get to your personal page.
There you can tell something about yourself, and/or test some formatting.
My page is https://wiki.mageia.org/en/User:Morgano

When you are in edit mode, in the bottom grey section there is a link to Wiki help.
On that page there is a link to formatting: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting
