A page on Our World of Text is made up of character cells that are lined up to a grid. To add text to a page, a user must click anywhere on the page that isn't protected to bring the text cursor to that position. Once the cursor is focused, the user can add text by simply typing as if it were any ordinary text editor. | |||
Because OWOT is a multiplayer website, other users can see changes added by another user as they're happening. Sites like Our World of Text are special because it's possible to drag the page to a different location and edit there. While, in theory, an OWOT world is supposed to be infinitely large, an upper limit is imposed due to the integer limits within JavaScript. | |||
Each world is divided into 16-cell wide and 8-cell tall chunks called tiles. Each cell can store only one grapheme cluster, allowing Zalgo text to be written since users can create combined characters. However, OWOT's implementation of grapheme clustering is relatively limited and only covers Emoji characters and combining characters. For more information, please see [[tile format]]. | |||

You are free to express your political opinions. | |||
Using scripts to make the site harder for others to use will be met with rate limits or worse. | |||
Parts of the front page may be reverted periodically due to spam. You may request a rollback if somebody has vandalized something you've been working on. | |||

Our World of Text does not require an account to access and edit public worlds or to use chatrooms. OWOT uses Uvias as its authentication system to manage accounts, which was introduced on August 27, 2019. The goal of Uvias is to allow for the sharing of accounts between Our World of Text, [[Our World of Pixels]], and the unfinished project [[Spooks]]. | |||
An account is required to own or become a member of a world. The exception is membership keys, which allow world owners to provide temporary membership to even unregistered users given a correct URL parameter. | |||
A guest account is a special account with a small number of limitations, such as not being able to own worlds. Guests can, however, be invited to a world as a member. A guest account's username starts with <code>Guest-</code> followed by a sequential number. Guest accounts are tied to your IP address, and may expire after a certain time. | |||
Since the Uvias account system was introduced in 2019, users have gained access to many additional functionalities, such as changing their username, viewing their login sessions and join date, and disabling their account. | |||
