=== Commonly misspelled usernames ===
If your username is commonly misspelled, consider helping people by adding [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirects]] to your actual user page and talk page from the misspelled titles. You may wish to consider registering the misspelled username as a [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry#Legitimate uses|doppelgänger account]] to prevent it from being registered by someone else. The software prevents registration of certain names that are found to be too similar to existing ones; if you cannot register your doppelgänger username for this reason, you should visit [[Wikipedia:Request an account]].
