The following page documents an official Test Wiki policy.
This page has been elaborated and approved by the community or a system administrator and compliance with it is mandatory for all users. Changes to it should reflect consensus. In the case of a conflict between the English version and a translation, the English version takes precedence.


Shortcut


When creating an account, a Test Wiki user must choose a name to represent them. That name must:

  • Be representative of an individual (not imply shared use)
  • Not end with a -bot suffix (unless a Steward or 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 (nonsensical or similar to an already existing user), or misleading content
  • Not contain any non-public, private, or personally identifiable information about another person or contain any other information that would be deemed appropriate for suppression

A steward may grant exceptions to any of these requirements, at their discretion. Any bureaucrat may indefinitely block an account violating this policy.
