KHWiki:Why create an account?

To create an account right now and log in, click here.

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 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, make one now and start editing.
