There are many reasons. Most of Staff have multiple accounts. For Bots. For testing by using accounts which do not have the same rights as others. To have "on duty" accounts and "off the clock" accounts, etc.

Some wikis are for RPGs, and they routinely allow switching between names for the sake of the role-plays. Special cases, but they exist.

Staff's stance on it is: multiple accounts are fine. It's misusing them that becomes an problem. "Socking" is not the practice of having more than one account, Socking is the practice of misusing them, including ban evasions.
