After the account physically exists, there is one more step which is ''slightly'' more complicated, which is giving the account their '''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Account verified|Account verified]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>''' template. Since emails are not stored for privacy reasons, there is no easy way {{Emdash}} aside from word of mouth {{Emdash}} to connect a wiki account to a particular person. The '''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Account verified|Account verified]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>''' template fixes this. The downside is it requires some effort.

For example, Sirdog's user page is <code>User:Sirdog</code>. You will be told the page doesn't exist since you just created the account. Create the page.
