 * 3) You run less of a risk of getting confused with another user.
 * 4) You can keep track of your contributions and other content you want to follow.
 * 5) You can get recognition for your contributions.

 * 7) When using a feature such as this, you will get notifications when other users reply.
 * 8) You can get email notifications to help keep track of content you want to follow.
 * 9) Some wikis don't allow anonymous users to edit. As a registered user, you can.
 * 10) Fandom has/is replacing this feature and those like it. Currently, the replacements do not allow anonymous users to post. As a registered user, you can.
