Let's understand something. FANDOM does not state that alternate accounts are not allowed. Many of Staff maintain alternate accounts for varied purposes. For testing different conditionals. To have private editing sessions without being asked for help. Accounts for spouses and or children so each can edit with their own identities. For business users to be On the Clock and Off the Clock, etc. To "lock out" accounts which are similar to your main one.

In short, a user can have hundreds of accounts so long as none are causing problems. Not sure why, and *I* certainly haven't the time or energy to invest in such activity myself, but against FANDOM rules, it is not, even though MANY admins and wikis think otherwise.

What IS NOT allowed is to use ANY account in disruptive and illegal fashion; violating rules and Terms of Use; and/or to bypass blocks.

Admins may to request IP checks of users, but only if there is reasonable cause. For the sake of privacy and legalities, very little personal information from such checks can be shared. Basically "they are or are not the same".
