User's account names can be changed upon request. Ask an [[Zelda Dungeon Wiki:Administrators|<span style="color:#2BA206">administrator</span>]] for a name change, if the request is reasonable it'll usually be granted. Obviously there are some usernames that are innappropriate. If you register under an inappropirate username, you may be asked to change it. Failure to comply may result in your account being banned, and you will be able to register under a different username. | User's account names can be changed upon request.

Generally any reasonable request to change a name will be granted. You may request a name change more than once. However, we ask that you wait a period of time, perhaps a few months at least, before requesting another name change. Repeated requests for name changes may result in your request being denied. We ask you choose a name you're happy with that you can stick with for an extended time. | |||
==What kind of username can I have?== | |||
Basically anything within reason. Usernames with special, non-mapped characters like hearts or diamonds are strongly discouraged. Longer usernames are also discouraged. Usernames should not contain profanity, cannot contain any hate speech, and cannot direct a personal attack against any existing user. If there is a problem with your username, you will be asked to choose a new one. | |||
==Can I use my real name as my username?== | |||
You may use your real first name as your username if you so desire. If you choose to do so, you use it at your own risk. Zelda Dungeon Wiki is not responsible for this. Placing your both your real first and last name in your username is strongly discouraged and if your username contains what looks like your full name, you may be asked to pick a new name. | |||

==What are user pages?== | ==What are user pages?== | ||
User pages are each user's personal page. You can put pretty much whatever you want on yours, within reason. There shouldn't be any personal attacks and nothing profane or obscene. We do try to keep a family-friendly environment. | User pages are each user's personal page. You can put pretty much whatever you want on yours, within reason.

==Can I add personal information to my user page?== | |||
You may add your own information to your page if you wish. You do so at your own risk. Zelda Dungeon Wiki accepts no responsibility for personal content users willingly place on their own pages. Posting personal information about other users without their consent is not permitted. | |||
==What do I do if I added personal information that I no longer want people to see?== | |||
Remove the content from your page. If you wish to have it removed from your page's history as well, contact an [[Zelda Dungeon Wiki:Administrators|<span style="color:#2BA206">administrator</span>]] and ask to have the revisions with the personal information hidden. | |||
==What are the pink and blue symbols next to the names I see on some userpages?== | |||
These are gender symbols. <span style="color:#188AC7">♂</span> for male and <span style="color:#F299EC">♀</span> for female. They appear on any user's page that has specified their gender in their preferences or at signup. If you do not want to see these symbols, they can be disabled in the Gadgets section of [[Special:Preferences|your preferences]]. | |||
==Do I have to reveal my gender?== | |||
No. This is completely optional. If you wish, you can leave your gender undisclosed in [[Special:Preferences|your preferences]]. | |||
