B1, so that you know, just having alternate usernames is *not* a violation of tou or against any rules. There is no "one user, one name only" rule across most of the Fandom network. It is only how a user uses the alternates.

For example, a wiki might have Role Play, so users locally are allowed to make "character names" to RP with; but can only visit certain other wikis with one of them due to restrictive local rules. Or they'd rather edit under one name on, say, Avatar Wiki and another more Star Wars-y name on Wookiepedia.

Many of Staff have alternate names for various reasons. For examle (although former Staff right now), Wendy/Merrystar; she used one for Staff business and the other for off-the-clock "relaxation/hobby" editing. For some Staff, alternates are used with different permissions so they can test aspects of Wikia/FANDOM.

So simply having alternate accounts is not bad. And for those who wish to leave behind some of their immature editing days, they find it simpler to simply leave the name behind.

Remember, is is misabusing multiple accounts which is blockable, not simply *having* multiple accounts.
