Greetings to the Amazing World of Gumball Wikia! I don't follow the show, but I've been following this situation over at the Community Wikia. As a fellow administrator of a wikia, I wanted to give my two cents:

Wikia, as an organization, allows for the use of multiple accounts, as long as these accounts follow the same rules as anyone else.

Gameuser10, you did not actually take that list from Wikia. You took it from Wikipedia, which is a completely different organization. (Trust me, people get the two mixed up all the time.) Wikia has never stated specific rules on multiple accounts, only that it is allowed. For example, the wikia I administrate, Acepedia, allows for multiple accounts under typical circumstances as long as they're not used to break rules or get around bans on another account.

However, Wikia also allows each community to create their own rules, and it is completely viable for communities such as the Gumball Wikia to enforce a no-multiple-accounts rule. So you're not doing anything wrong by having the rule; it's just not a rule that every wiki on the Wikia service has, so it's not a requirement at all.

I felt that this information would be vital to this discussion. Of course, this is a community rule/discussion, so it's up to your community to decide and I will not try to sway any votes. I just wanted to step in with some accurate information. I hope you guys come to a swift conclusion - good luck!
