{{notice|The following is a draft working towards a proposal for a Test Wiki policy. This draft must not be taken to represent actual policy.}}
⚫
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 the -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,
*and not be offensive or profane.
⚫
*In addition, usernames may not be promotional, confusing (be nonsense or be similar to an already existing user), or misleading.
⚫
A Steward may grant exceptions to the first, third, and fifth requirements. A Bureaucrat or Steward may indefinitely block an account violating this policy.
