- Real name is optional (although if you choose to provide it, this will be used instead of your username for giving you attribution for your work)
- Personal biography is 25 words minimum (remember this will become the initial content of your user page, which can be edited later)
You do not have to provide your real name or any real-life information, but at the very least you should specify which of our forums you view or post in, and to which section(s) of our wiki you might contribute (or simply that you wish to open an account so that you can tailor your preferences rather than accepting the default).
