QBWiki accounts must be held under people's full real names. This does not have to mean "legal name"—it's fine to omit portions of a name that the person does not ordinarily use (like middle names for most people), to use common nicknames, etc. If multiple QBWiki users have the same name, disambiguating information may be added to one or more of their usernames.
QBWiki accounts cannot be shared, transferred, or otherwise used in a fashion other than "one person, one account". It is not permitted for a person to have multiple accounts. People who change their name can request that their username be changed.
Each user's user page should contain a brief explanation of their connection(s) to quizbowl, past and present. This typically means the school(s) for which the person played, coached, etc., and major organizations for which they have done significant work. This is initially provided as the "Biography" when a person requests a QBWiki account. Users should make reasonable efforts to keep their page up-to-date, and other users may assist them in doing so. It is fine for the user page to be a redirect to a main-namespace page (as long as the main-namespace page provides this information).
