On the Dream Fiction Wiki, users may have more than one account, as long as they are being used for good purposes. If you have multiple accounts, please make sure the Dream Fiction Wiki community know about it through putting Template:Sockpuppet legit or Template:Bot if they are a bot.
There are legitimate reasons for multiple accounts:
- If your account gets hacked, you may use backups until you consider your main account to be secure.
- If you want to set up a bot, since it is strongly discouraged to run bot scripts on your main account. You may not operate more than ten bots.
- For testing purposes, such as checking if your CSS looks right.
- If you have a funny/silly username but don't want to embarrass yourself when editing about serious topics and vice versa (e.g. a user called ILoveFranklinTheTurtle552 wants to edit a page about a school massacre without getting embarrassed so they edit under a more serious username.)
- Please note that bureaucrat, administrator, content moderator, chat moderator, discussion moderator and rollback rights cannot be carried over to other accounts.
There are illegitimate reasons for multiple accounts:
- Using one account for good contributions and one account for bad contributions. If there is strong evidence that they are linked, both the good account and the bad account will be permabanned.
- Using multiple accounts to evade editing bans.
