The link to access the account creation page.

When you read the wiki, you will notice that when pages change, it is usually by two types of user accounts: temporary users who are shown as a randomly assigned username, and registered users who are shown by their chosen username.

Creating an account has the advantage of being able to track page changes, receive notifications from pages you have edited on, and also be able to have your own user page and talk page.

Is an account necessary?

You are not required to create an account to contribute to the wiki, but you are encouraged to create one, because an account gives you more advantages over anonymous accounts, which can be summarized as:

  • Be able to follow pages and add them to your watchlist, a log of changes made to pages you follow.
  • Have your own user page which uses your username as their title, and a dedicated talk page for it.
  • Be able to receive multiple types of notifications.
  • Change your account settings (also called account preferences) and enable or disable user gadgets.

Process of creation

[edit source]

To create an account, you have to go to the page Special:CreateAccount, where you will see the following fields:

  • Account migration: If you need to migrate your old account to this wiki, you have to follow the steps at Special:MigrateUserAccount.
  • Username: On this field you can choose the username you want to use on this wiki.
  • Password: On this field you can write a password that you'll use to log in into your account. It is recommended to use a unique password that you are not using on any other website.
  • Confirm password: On this field you have to enter your chosen password again.
  • Email address: An optional field where you can enter your email address.

After you followed all the required steps (those not marked as optional), you have to press the Create your account button, and you have created your account which you can use to edit on the wiki!

Account migration

[edit source]

There is another method to create an account, the account migration, where you can migrate your account on the old wiki to this wiki. To do this, you have to follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Special:MigrateUserAccount page.
  2. Enter your username on the input field.
  3. Copy the code that is given to you.
  4. Go to your user page on Community Central.
  5. Edit it, and enter the code on the edit summary.
  6. Go back to this wiki, and follow the remaining steps.

And your account would now be migrated and you can recover (nearly) all your progress!
