Username
Hi, I just wanted to make a quick comment about your username. As per the Username policy, a non-Latin username is allowed, but can be problematic;

And, from the guideline Signatures;

I understand your username appears to be Russian, and it apparently translates to "Black mask". I'm not sure what the significance of that is to you, but if you would consider adding that, or another Latinized name or word to your signature, (eg: ), it would make interacting with you a great deal easier for your fellow editors.

To attach a Latinized word or name to your signature, just go to "Preferences", and on the first page, under "User Profile", scroll down to "Signatures". There you will see a text box where you can customize your signature to your liking and you will be able to modify it with an add-on in Latin script that will help others identify and communicate with you. There are additional instructions at Signature tutorial, and at the bottom of the page you will find a list of unique, colorful and creative signatures, just as you will see throughout Wikipedia, that may help give you some ideas. If you need any assistance, you can contact the Help Desk. I hope you find this useful and, happy editing! - w o lf  05:10, 15 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Привет, Thewolfman
 * I have reviewed your proposition and here are my responses: I have decided to not change my name, but I have a question: Is there a way where people can find me through a redirect? For example, someone can look up «Black Mask‎»‎ or «Chernaya Maska‎» and it would redirect to my user page. If that is possible, please guide me through the steps. Also, if you were wondering why my name is «Black Mask‎»‎ is because during the pandemic, and before I dropped out of school I would wear a Convertible Black Balaclava, if that is what it is called.
 * Sincerely,

 * Well, the easiest way would be to just add "Black mask" to your signature, as noted above. You wouldn't be changing your account name, just your signature. Take my account for example; the username is "Thewolfchild", but by signature is just "wolf". Many users have altered signatures, and it's generally allowed, as long as the signature links to the user's account.
 * That said, you seem to talking about having a different username ("Black mask"), that links to this account, yes? For that you would need to create a second account. That's generally frowned upon unless you have a legitimate reason, (which this might be, I'm not sure). You can look into it more and see if that is what you want. Or you can try the signature way first and see if it suits you. It's quicker & easier, you can do it on your own, and you undo anytime. To create a second account, you would need to ensure they're linked (you may need an admin for that, and once an account is created, I don't believe it can be deleted. I think you can request an admin to rename it to a generic number, then you just abandon it).
 * Any way, I'll leave it to you. Do a little research and decide what, if anything, you would like to do. Again, welcome to WP. - w o lf  12:29, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
