Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

=How do I get my name to work in other languages?= I'd like to know how to contribute to French wikipedia, as well. I go there, and I'm no longer logged in.
 * Unfortunately, you'll have to log in separately to the various language sites for a little while longer. Sorry. Xiner (talk, email) 05:14, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Follow-up:

You have to have separate accounts on each separate language wikipedia (though you might be able to use the same user name if it's not already taken!). You have to register for the account name in each language, and you will also need to log in on each language individually - there's no cross-log-in.

Depending on your browser (i.e. Internet explorer; firefox) if you close the windows when going back and forth between the two languages, you can get logged off. I tend to do bunches of edits in separate languages if possible, rather than trying to go back and forth between the two (unless I'm translating to and from).

Hope that helps, if you have further questions (if I was close) just leave a note on my user page. If I was totally off base, put the helpme tag back on the page and another editor will check in. SkierRMH 05:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you both for the help! I've gone ahead and done that.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Cbl47. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cbl47~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:55, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 11:26, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
