===How to create an account===

#You need an account to make changes to the Battery KB.

===How to make yourself a User Entity in the Battery KB (not the same as above):===

You are now a proper user for editing the Battery KB, but you also need to exist as an '''User Entity''' in the Battery KB. This page object reflects who you exist as in reality.

#At the top, click '''+''' Create.

#Fill in the parameters where relevant and required. At a minimum, first name and last name. Note: you might not be able to find your organization yet. Don't worry, if so, that's an exercise for later.

===How to add your User Entity to a project:===

As a '''User Entity''' in the Battery KB, you can now essentially tag or define yourself in relation to other objects. For example, try finding your Battery 2030+ project and adding yourself as a '''Member''' to that project by doing the following steps.

#Click on that Project's name to find their entity page.

#At the top, there are two edit buttons: '''Edit data''' and '''Edit'''.

===How to add your User Entity to an organization:===

You can add yourself to an organization (typically, your employer but also other types of organizations like departments or smaller units like research groups). But this is done differently from adding yourself to a Project.

##Does your organization not exist? We can solve that by creating your organization as an '''Entity''' in the Battery KB. Firstly, we should know what kind of organization you belong to. We have the following existing categories:

###Go to the category your organization most fits and click +Create on that page to create a new Entity, just like you did for your User Entity.

###Fill in the usual information. Note that acronyms go under the field Short Name(s). But this parameter field doesn't show up by default.

===How to add a new entity on the fly:===

So you've created an Entity or two under the Categories. But, maybe you had some trouble putting in Entities that don't exist yet because this wiki is in its early stages of creation. It can be a hassle to start creating a new '''Entity''', like a new '''User''', only to find that you want to link to other '''Entities''' that don't exist yet, like a new '''ResearchOrganization'''.

#Let's say you want to type in the country of your organization in the '''Country''' field, but that specific '''Country''' doesn't exist as an '''Entity''' in Battery KB yet.

##The system won't let you type a country name that isn't an existing country entity. Remember: ''nothing'' exists outside of the ontological framework.

You are now hopefully feeling confident about your abilities to navigate and work on the Battery KB. Where should you get started on working? The following Article Categories will be the main body of information of the Battery KB.

** A supercategory containing narrower categories like {{Template:Viewer/Link|page=Category:OSW5a8504ba30405714835ab95b5e6a4293|url=|label=Active Materials, binders, and addtives}}. Each category would then contain an item like NMC532 or graphite.

** Variables which influence battery cell fabrication.

** Methods to measure either Process Parameters or Key Performance Indicators.

** Metrics which are used to evaluate the quality of a battery cell.
