The RPC Wiki,Â https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com, whenever I try to log in it it always says:

There is no user by the name "<my name>". Check your spelling.

Anyone could help me? I never logged in it before and I'd like to make my character page. I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong place but I'm unsure where to put this...

I think it has to do with your name. It doesn't like names with spaces or _ in them.

Liadan's answer was close, but not quite that way.

We use an authorization bridge to connect forum accounts into the wiki. So when you go to login on the wiki, it authenticates with forum credentials. BUT!! The wiki automatically converts all spaces in usernames into underscores. And assumes the forums do this too. (They don't.)

So "test_user" and "test user" are assumed to be the same person to the wiki, even though both could exist on the forums separately. In RPC's case, it explodes on underscores. If you either edit your username to remove the underscore or replace it with a space, you should be able to login.
