When logging in on Yugipedia, you are given the option to use the username and password for your FANDOM (Wikia.com/Fandom.com) account, which will import it automatically. Doing this has several advantages over creating a new account:
 
* Your user preferences will be imported, so you don't have to change them again (though you may still like to [[Special:Preferences|adjust your preferences]] after importing, since there are a number of differences in site functionality between FANDOM and Yugipedia).
 
* Your user preferences will be imported, so you don't have to change them again (though you may still like to [[Special:Preferences|adjust your preferences]] after importing, since there are a number of differences in site functionality between FANDOM and Yugipedia).
 
* You can continue to use your account name from FANDOM. Note that it is not possible to register an account with the same name as an account registered on FANDOM; the account must be imported. Outside of exceptional circumstances, staff here will not rename an account to usurp a FANDOM account either.

:Account imports are not instant. If you're getting an error message saying "''Auto-creation of a local account failed: An account creation for this user name is already in progress. Please wait.''", that means your account is already in the process of being imported.

:Once your account is listed there, try to log in. If it says the password you're using is incorrect, request a new one by email. You'll be sent an email containing a new password (note that the email might end up in your spam/junk folder). Then, use that password and you're in! You can then change your password on [[Special:Preferences|your preferences]].
