- provide an email address during account creation. Currently we can not stop you from editing without a confirmed email address, but in future for security reasons we may do so. Maybe tango.info must be able to identify you.
- for your username
- use exactly 8 (ocho) letters of the latin alphabet (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz). The first letter may be upper case (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ)
- avoid using the word tango. Here we are all Tangofrank, Tangotobias, Tanguero2000, tangoholic etc.
- after registration it would be nice if you write something about yourself on your user page. E.g. User:Tobiasco or at least, it would be nice if you say in which country you live.
Why ocho letters
because
- ocho is a magic number in tango
- users that sign in later shall not have the disadvantage of longer names, vs users that sign in early and get shorter.
- gives the wiki a stronger identity.
- presenting all username in a list gives a more harmonious picture if they are equal length, e.g. in tables.
