shortcuts wp account wp register registering doesn t just give you better tools for making edits an account facilitates working with other volunteers creating an account is quick and completely free you don t need to be registered to contribute but getting an account allows you to choose an appropriate username which will be reserved just for you on wikipedia and other wikimedia projects create your own user page to collaborate share information about yourself or just practice editing and publishing in your own sandbox communicate with other editors via your own talk page you can also opt in to exchanging emails with other users get automatic notifications that alert you when someone has ping ed you or wikilinked your user id use custom preferences to change the look and behaviour of wikipedia use your unified login to work on wikimedia s other projects such as wiktionary and wikimedia commons use more advanced editing tools once you have had an account for 4 days and made 10 edits you can edit semi protected pages which display a grey lock ip address users and non confirmed users cannot edit pages of this security level start new articles rename pages or upload images and

an account you can pick a user name provided it is available and unique edits you make while logged in will be assigned to that name not to your ip address you will have your own permanent user page where you can write a bit about yourself while wikipedia is not a homepage provider you can use this to display a few free pictures write about your hobbies etc many users use their user page to maintain a list of the articles they are most proud of or to collect other valuable information from wikipedia you will also have a permanent talk page you can use to communicate with other users you will be notified whenever someone writes a message on your talk page if you choose to give an e mail address other users will be able to contact you by e mail this feature is anonymous the user who emails you will not know your e mail address you are actually less identifiable logged in than you are as an unregistered editor owing to the hiding of your ip address so long as you avoid disclosing identifiable information on your user page you might want to consider privacy and the possibility of offline harassment when deciding what to say on your user page reputation communication and more successful edits having an account gives you a fixed wikipedia identity that other users will recognize while we welcome contributions from unregistered editors logging in under a user name lets you build trust and respect through a history of good edits and makes it easier for veteran users to assume good faith communicate and collaborate having a good name or a pseudonym to protect your identity promotes more responsible editing and more civil discourse sometimes new or unregistered users are prevented from editing pages that are common targets of vandalism just as this page is protected and only users with an account can edit it also bots can mistake even good faith ip address edits for vandalism for these reasons edits under a user name tend to be more successful having an account is a must for many processes in wikipedia such as voting for administrators as your reputation builds it is possible to earn privileges such as rollback sysop administrator and others it is not possible for an unregistered editor to be granted these privileges your user name may also receive recognition for good work such as barnstars project awards personal user awards or nomination for voted accolades like editor of the week you need a fixed account identity to accumulate these pats on the back they are not awarded to ip addresses user preferences as a registered user you can customize the way pages are displayed by altering your preferences there in the appearance tab you can change the following display settings under skin various options as to the appearance of the website under math how mathematical formulas are displayed under files how large image thumbnails should be and various editing preferences how your username signature appears on talk pages how pages should be displayed in recent changes and many others open research wikipedia accounts can gain access to the vital reliable sources via the wikipedia library blocked shared ip addresses such as school and enterprise networks or proxy servers are frequently blocked for vandalism which unfortunately may also affect innocent editors on the same network however registered users in good standing can request existing blocks on their ip address be modified to affect only unregistered editors so that they can continue contributing to wikipedia if you are currently blocked from creating an account we suggest you do one of the following try again after the block on your ip address expires go to my contributions and follow the block log link at the top of that page to find the length of the block if no block appears go to special blocklist and copy the ip address which appears at the top of special mypage into the box next to ip address for username request an account by following
