'''Registering a free account takes only a few seconds, and is required for you to edit.

Simply choose a username and a unique password and click "create account". Please choose a password that is different from your username and which would be difficult to guess. All usernames will begin with a capitalized letter, regardless of what you type. You will be required to validate your account using your e-mail address and is also the only way to retrieve a forgotten password. Do not use an e-mail address as your username. It will be very visible, and make you a target of automated e-mail bots.


 * For your own security, please choose a secure password. It is encouraged to use both letters, numbers, and special characters with varying case.

Your username must not contain:

 * Offensive, confusing, random or unreadable text or characters.
 * Forward slash ( / ), Backslash ( \ ), ampersands ( & ), number signs ( # ), or plus signs ( + ) are also prohibited.
 * Usernames meant to impersonate other FFXIclopedians
 * existing company names (including non-profit organizations) and trademarks
 * words like "bot" or "script" that refer to automated editing processes
 * titles like "admin" or "sysop" that imply authority on FFXIclopedia
 * domain names

Notes:
 * You must have cookies enabled to log in to FFXIclopedia.
 * Your username will appear publicly on the site, whenever you make an edit, your username is permanently imprinted in that article's history and cannot be removed. Editors are advised against using their real names or disclosing personal/contact information on their user pages.
