Agreed. Having pulled up the history for the Sockpuppet policy myself, it's obvious that your understanding of "no second accounts"1 is the correct one, and that the current Participation Guidelines were written with regrettably ambiguous language. But that being the case, I think the Guidelines could be changed without any need for community discussion, because the "change" would just be implementing the existing, imprecisely articulated policy.

I suggest something like: I think the exception for community-approved bots is so specific, and so rarely needed, that it doesn't need to be expressed in the policy; I threw in the adjective "editing" just to satisfy the qualms of my textualist conscience, because I view bots as "maintenance" rather than "editing" accounts.
 * No multiple accounts. Each User may have only one editing account on Star Wars Fanon. If you have lost or forgotten your account password, use the "lost password" feature or, in the event that the feature fails, contact Wikia staff.

1Subject to exceptions which don't apply in Honk111's case.
