Migration
See the migration guide to move Fandom accounts 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.

Information
While creating an account, you can pick a user name, provided it is available. Edits you make while logged in will be assigned to that name. You will have your own user page where you can write a bit about yourself. You will also have a talk page you can use to communicate with other users. You will be notified whenever someone writes a message on your talk page.

Preferences
Once at your preferences page, you can change the user interface through feature settings provided by MediaWiki, including skins, plug-ins, date formats, a signature, and more. You can add and change information, such as your name and email address. Verifying your email address is required before you can edit on the wiki.

Logging In
If you find yourself unable to log in, review the Wikipedia page on the topic, found here. The Independent Fallout Wiki and Wikipedia use the same foundation and settings regarding logging in are similar. If you have forgotten your password, review the information here. The Administrators of the Independent Fallout Wiki do not have access to your passwords and cannot access them for you.

Safety
Keep your login secure. Never give your password to anyone. Administrators will never ask for your login, and if anyone does, please immediately report this to the team in the Discord server or via administrator talk page.
