To '''use real names''' is a requirement on some of the smaller public wikis.

[[Large public wiki]]s tend not to have such policies, if only because they are unenforceable and prone to easy subterfuge, since no one is actually enforcing.

To have such a policy is effectively to remove [[outing problems]] except for those who actively defy the policy, who may be taking their chances by trying to subvert the policy.

However, it is also to deny the [[right to vanish]], as comments made stick forever and will often be quoted out of context by liars and propagandists. This may have violent consequences.

If [[constant pseudonyms are allowed]] there are various problems with the assumption that "a single real person is writing that". It is very often not the case, as [[trolls]] for instance [[foment ambiguity]] by sharing their IDs and IPs.
