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.

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

Examples

Some examples of what would not be allowed:

  1. Name not representative of an individual: "Mary&Dan", "Walmart", etc.
  2. -bot suffix usernames: "Translate Bot", "Archive Bot", etc.
  3. "user right names": "Administrator", "Bureaucrat", "Steward", etc.
  4. Offensive names: "FUCK TEST WIKI", "FUCK STEWARDS", etc.
  5. Promotional, confusing, or misleading usernames: "Bob's lawncare: bobslawns.xyz", "hsiikallxno", "Justarandomämerican"
