{{proposed policy}}
When creating an account, a Test Wiki [[Test Wiki:Users|user]] must choose a name to represent them. That name must:
*Be representative of an individual (not imply shared use),
*Not end with a [[Test Wiki:Bots|-bot suffix]] (unless a [[Test Wiki:Stewards|Steward]] or [[Test Wiki:Bureaucrats|Bureaucrat]] other than the bot operator chooses to approve a bot account for trial or operation),
*Not contain the name of a user right,
*Not be offensive or profane,
*Not contain promotional, confusing (nonsense or similar to an already existing user), or misleading content.
A steward may grant exceptions to any of these requirements, at their discretion. Any bureaucrat may indefinitely block an account violating this policy.
