Help:Sockpuppet

A sockpuppet is an alternate account created to cause disruption and issues on a wiki. They are often used for the following:
 * Evading a block or chat ban
 * Vandalism
 * Harassing another user
 * Creating or instigating conflict

Sockpuppets shouldn't be confused with having multiple accounts. You are allowed to have more than one account on, so long as they are not used to cause disruption or deceive users. Some communities may have specific policies related to multiple accounts, so it is important to check local community account policies.

If it is found that a user is causing trouble in fandom, those users may be blocked by staff, depending on how severe the event is. All questions regarding account information must be submitted to Special:Contact.
