Treat the two-part announcement as a format description, not a guarantee that a particular spelling is allowed or available. For access and reservation information, use the dated [[Beginner guide]].<br /> <br /> To help friends find you, share the full name exactly as displayed and agree on the [[Realmless rulesets|group&#039;s ruleset]]. Avoid substituting an older realm-name format without checking the Forever interface.<br /> <br /> == Documenting naming rules ==<br /> The wiki needs the actual character limit, accepted characters, and full rejection messages. An example screenshot should show the relevant field labels and validation result; a successful example alone does not establish the maximum length or every permitted character.<br /> <br /> {{Research tasks|kind=Guide|needs=First- and second-part length limits; Allowed punctuation and accented characters; Full-name uniqueness and validation messages; Name display in chat and group invitations}}<br /> <br /> == Sources ==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> [[Category:Systems]]</div>
