Help:Creating an account

Creating an account is free and simple, and it is encouraged if you plan to regularly edit the wiki. Having an account also gives you extra abilities and features that un-registered users do not have access to.

How do I create an account?

 * On the top right of every page, you will find a tab that gives you two options, to create an account or log in. Click "Create account".

I forgot my password, what do I do?

 * If you have an email address connected to your account, go to the login page, type your username into the "Username" box, and click the "E-mail new password" button.
 * If you remember your password, and simply want to change it, visit Special:ChangePassword.

Can my account be deleted?

 * Accounts on Pikmin Fanon will not be deleted, but you can, of course, stop using your account if you want to.
 * If you want to use a different username, you can create a new account and begin using the new one instead (or rename the account). There is a risk that you may be accused of "sockpuppetry" (using two accounts for malicious purposes), so redirect the user and talk pages of the old account to those of your new one and make it clear to other users that you are not using the old one anymore.
