FalloutWiki:Account Migration

This guide is to help anyone who wants to move their Fandom account information to the Independent Fallout Wiki. Migrating your account from Fandom to the Independent Fallout Wiki will not delete your Fandom account, it will only copy over your edit history, watchlist, and other profile information.

Reclaiming Your Account
The Independent Fallout Wiki has a copy of your account, but your password was not carried over for security reasons. This means you cannot log into your account on this wiki unless you go through these steps to verify your account. You will need to be logged in to your Fandom account to start this process.

Step 1
In order to transfer your account over to this wiki, you will need to create a  on your Fandom account. To do this, go to Special:BotPasswords. On this page, you should have the option to create an account and give it certain rights. For this process, create an account named  and give it the following rights:
 * Basic rights (this should be on by default)
 * View your watchlist (this carries over your watchlist)
 * Access private information (this allows it to verify your email)

After you do this, it will generate an account name and a password string. The account name will be your username followed by.

The page with your credentials will not be saved, so you may want to save these in a private place to access them later. Once you have successfully created a BotPassword, you will not need to interact with your Fandom account again.

Step 2
From here, return to the Independent Fallout Wiki and navigate to Special:UserLogin and use the username and password given to you when you created your bot password. When you have logged in, you will be prompted to change your password. If you don't change your password at this time, it will stay as the long string that was generated for your BotPassword.

After this, you will have full access to your account on the Independent Fallout Wiki. If you wish to close your account on Fandom, you can do so here. You can also delete your BotPassword on Fandom by going here, clicking on  which you created earlier, scrolling to the bottom of the page, and clicking "delete."

Accounts with no edits
If you have an account on Fandom but have never made any edits, you will have to create a new account under your desired username on the Independent Fallout Wiki.

Other issues
