Having more than one account isn't harmful, especially if it's clearly defined as being yours. The need for another account is usually not there, but as long as you're not misusing it (pretending you're someone else, acting naughty with it, using it to get a leg up in a vote) then there is no harm. Of course each wiki's policy differs, but in practise a second account somebody identifies and marks clearly to be their own is seldom misused (unless the entire purpose of the account is to be able toe dit after being blocked, which is an invalid reason for an account). I myself have about 20 accounts or so in total.
