Forum:I have a question about wiki accounts

I have a question about wiki accounts. Can a user have 2 wiki accounts as long they don't use both on the one wiki? Black  Dragon   Laguz  00:07, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Its fine to have two accounts as long as they are for legitimate use. Just don't use one for sockpuppeting or vandalism. The question though is why would you want two accounts?--

Okay. I guess it's kind of a silly reason, but my current username just seems like a strange username depending on the type of wiki I would use it for, so I'd rather have another account to use on another wiki. Black  Dragon   Laguz  01:29, April 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Definitely okay unless you pretend that the two accounts are two different people. :) The 888th Avatar   (talk)  09:22, April 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you're going to use 2 accounts, I would make the secondary one on particular wikis redirect to the primary one. Add  to the secondary user page and   to the secondary user talk page. That will give a clear indication to admins that you are not trying to sockpuppet. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 5 Apr 2011 8:07 AM Pacific
 * @Fandyllic: Even if the secondary account is not used on the same wiki as the first one? Black   Dragon   Laguz  02:01, April 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * You don't need to make redirects if you never use a different account on a particular wiki, but if you think you might, you should. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 5 Apr 2011 7:28 PM Pacific
 * Fandyllic, the problem with that is he will not be pinged when he gets a new message then. A simpler way to do it is to just list on your user page that this is an alternate account of User:Primary User .--
