Guidelines:Account Migration

This guide is to help anyone who wants to move from Fandom and recover their account on Zeldapedia.

Reclaiming Your Account
Zeldapedia has a copy of your account, but your password was not carried over for security reasons. Because of this, you cannot log into your account on this wiki unless you go through these steps to verify your account. You will need to be logged in to your Fandom account to start this process.

Step 1
In order to transfer your account over to this wiki, you will need to create a. To do this, go to Special:BotPasswords. On this page, you should have the option to create an account and give it certain rights. For this process, create an account named  and give it the following rights:
 * Basic rights (this should be on by default)
 * View your watchlist (this carries over your watchlist)
 * Access private information (this allows it to verify your email)

After you do this, it will generate an account name and a password string. The account name will be your username followed by.

The page with your credentials will not be saved, so you may want to save these in a private place to access later. Once you have successfully created a BotPassword, you will not need to interact with your Fandom account any further.

Step 2
From here, log onto Zeldapedia using Special:UserLogin and use the username and password given to you when you created your bot password. When you have logged in, you will be prompted to change your password. If you don't change your password at this time, it will stay as the long string that was generated for your BotPassword. Also note that your password on Fandom will not change after you change your password on Zeldapedia.

After this, you will have full access to your account on Zeldapedia. If you wish to close your account on Fandom, you can do so here. You can also delete your BotPassword on Fandom by going here and clicking "delete".

Troubleshooting
If you have an account on Fandom but never made any edits, you will have to create a new account under your desired username on Zeldapedia.

If you don't remember your Fandom password, you will need to recover it in order to log in on Fandom before you can create a BotPassword. You must succesfully log in on Zeldapedia before you can recover your password on Zeldapedia.
