Sadly it looks like usernames are global across Wikia, which I hadn't realised, so I can't sort any such thing out. Looks like we should move to hosting this ourselves ASAP.

Oh, that's a shame. Thanks for clarifying. You might want to tweak the wording in the main post, which does say "Usernames are global across Wikia" but not that this means you can't do anything about it. (For all I know, you could have been a Wikia admin with Awesome Godlike Powers there, or there might be some hack to allow names to be namespaced, or something.)

Gah! I struck out the bit that said "use the same name, I can fix it", and the strikeout was visible in the rich text editor but not in the final article. Re-edited now.

Perfectly clear now; thanks.
