User:Avicennasis/Username Policy

Username policy

Username policy prohibits usernames which are promotional, misleading, or offensive

• promotional usernames:
  • containing existing company, organization, group, or website names (including non-profit organizations)
  • containing domain names or email addresses
• misleading usernames:
  • close to names of celebrities, notable world figures or events, or known Wikipedians
  • containing words like "bot" or "script" which refer to automated editing processes
  • containing titles like "admin" or "sysop", which imply authority on Wikipedia
• offensive usernames

For technical reasons, a username cannot include the #, / and \ symbols. Any underscores will be converted to spaces. The first letter of a username is automatically capitalized.
