<p>Your username is a nickname that will identify your account and thereby all of your contributions to Wikipedia. It can be your real name, if you so choose, but you should be aware of <a href="#Real_names">the risks involved</a> in editing under your real name. Wikipedia usernames are <a href="/w/index.php?title=Case_sensitivity&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Case sensitivity (mukanda kele ve)">case sensitive</a>, but the first letter is always automatically capitalized. By default, your username appears in your signature on posts to <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines (mukanda kele ve)">discussion pages</a>; for details on signatures and how to customize them, see <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Signatures&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wikipedia:Signatures (mukanda kele ve)">Wikipedia:Signatures</a>. </p><p>Bear in mind that, once chosen, a username cannot be easily changed. If you choose "Dr. Franz Schröder", then your doctorate will be evident on history pages and, unless you change your signature, on all posts to talk pages. If you prefer to be less formal, leave off the title. However, you should read the section on <a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#Real_names">using your real name</a> as your username. </p><p>You specify your username when <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Why_create_an_account%3F&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wikipedia:Why create an account? (mukanda kele ve)">creating an account</a>, and subsequently use it (together with your secret password) to <a href="/w/index.php?title=Lusadisu:Logging_in&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Lusadisu:Logging in (mukanda kele ve)">log in</a> to that account. Once you have an account, you may create a <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:User_pages&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wikipedia:User pages (mukanda kele ve)">user page</a>, titled "User:XXXX" (where "XXXX" is your username), to provide relevant information about yourself to other Wikipedians. You or any other editor may also create a <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:User_talk_page&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wikipedia:User talk page (mukanda kele ve)">user talk page</a>, titled "User talk:XXXX", that people can use to contact you. </p><p>The software will not allow you to register with a username that is already in use, or one that appears too similar to one that is already in use. In the latter case, however, you may still request permission to use that name. </p><p>Your username can be virtually any string of characters (subject to a few <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(technical_restrictions)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions) (mukanda kele ve)">technical limitations</a>). However, it should be a name which other users will be comfortable with and which does not interfere with the project. A controversial name may give a bad impression to other users, and avoiding this is in your own interest. This page describes certain types of usernames that are specifically disallowed, primarily because they can be considered <i>offensive</i>, <i>misleading</i>, or <i>promotional</i>, or imply that the account does <i>not belong to an individual</i>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Inappropriate_usernames" data-mw-thread-id="h-Inappropriate_usernames"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Inappropriate_usernames"></span>Inappropriate usernames<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Inappropriate_usernames"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Username_policy&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section's source code: Inappropriate usernames"><span>edit source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Inappropriate_usernames","replies":["h-Misleading_usernames-Inappropriate_usernames","h-Disruptive_or_offensive_usernames-Inappropriate_usernames","h-Promotional_names-Inappropriate_usernames","h-Usernames_implying_shared_use-Inappropriate_usernames","h-Exceptions-Inappropriate_usernames","h-Confusing_usernames-Inappropriate_usernames"]}}--></div> <p>This section lists the types of usernames that are considered inappropriate.
