A sockpuppet means an alternate account used for any nefarious purpose. Usually, yes, this takes the form of ban evasion, though there are other nasty things that can be done: manipulation of public votes or impersonation of other users, for instance.

Simply having a duplicate Wikia account is not a violation of any global rule, and Staff will not pursue such users (though individual wikis may feel free to take issue). It's only really when the nefarious purposes come to mind that it becomes a problem. Add to the Sock-puppet's evil role call- undermining map games, cheeting in quizes and posting vadalisum posts.
