At the Kingdom Hearts Wiki, we have no policy excluding "anonymous" or "unregistered" users - that is, users who are not logged in. When you edit a page without logging in, the edit functions the same - it still shows up as soon as you hit "save", and you are still able to use the same markup - but your IP address will be recorded in the edit history. However, there are some benefits to creating an account logging in that you should consider. | |||
==Requirements== | |||
There are almost no requirements to creating an account. | |||
*It takes about a minute - simply fill in a desired username, a password, and a "confirm password" and submit. Your account will be created instantly. The only way it could take more than a few seconds is if your username is already taken and you have to choose another. | |||
*No email or any other contact email is required. There is no email confirmation necessary. Only a CAPTCHA confirmation that you are human is needed. | |||
*It's free! No money is required to sign up for an account. | |||
==Benefits== | |||
Several benefits are associated with having an account. | |||
*You can be known by a name and not a number. | |||
*You can participate in policy discussions on the wiki. | |||
*You can keep all your edits together, no matter where you edit from - even if you edit from several locations. | |||
*You can edit ''semi-protected'' pages, pages that have been protected against vandalism by unregistered users and new accounts. | |||
*You can move pages to new titles, if necessary. | |||
*You can customize your [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]], including your signature. | |||
As you can see, there are many reasons to create an account, and it's no sweat at all. If you feel the same, [[Sepcial:Userlogin|make one now]] and start editing now. | |||
