Tips for security on Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a public space, do not disclose information that you do not want re-posted publicly elsewhere, can never be deleted and could be analysed and used by future employers, friends, criminals and commercial spammers.
Use a strong unique password that is not connected to your real-life. Wikipedia can take long passwords (my longest has been 50 characters) so consider phrases you find memorable (but few others would) rather than just short keywords.

If you link to an email account, make sure your email account also uses a strong password.
If your browser remembers passwords for you, make sure you have a strong master password.
If you use a public connection try using the secure server and consider creating an alternate account (see WP:SOCKS#LEGIT).
