I've been to sites where they asked you to log in with your name. Most people used their name. No discussion of "real name" was needed. That's why we changed it here, to "name" instead of real name. Maybe my logic doesn't work because there are too many mediawiki sites that don't require realnames. I dunno.

:I suppose it might be clearer if there wasn't a separate place to put in your real name, which, by the way, is really only useful for GFDL wikis, and then only if they're going to eventually be published like de, fr, and en Wikipedias. | :I suppose it might be clearer if there wasn't a separate place to put in your real name, which, by the way, is really only useful for GFDL wikis, and then only if they're going to eventually be published like de, fr, and en Wikipedias. | ||
When we made those changes in the field names, I didn't have enough brain power to figure out which field meant what. We could eliminate one, if that would make things clearer. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 10:26, 20 November 2006 (EST) | |||
