— User pages: where those who have registered accounts can write about their interests and present themselves to the rest of the community.

— User talk pages: where direct, public messages can be left for other users. These work in a similar way to the article discussion pages and anyone can join in on these spaces.

Mostly, this concerns edit wars, warnings about bad behavior on the part of certain users, or the repeated sabotaging of articles, requests for deleted articles to be reinstated and much more. When a dispute is sufficiently intractable that it cannot be handled within the virtual environment, it may be escalated as a petition to Meta Wikimedia as is occurring currently with regards to the Croatian language version of Wikipedia, where a majority of editors have formed a nucleus with far right tendencies that bars from the project any editor attempting to present an alternative view point with regards to the presentation of information (Lorente, 2020: 81).

To this end, and by way of summary, we include a glossary of the fundamental terms and subjects connected with the Spanish version of this online encyclopedia (Table 1).
