The sockpuppets rule was implemented due to people attempting to get around breaking rules, mostly. We've also had issues of people using multiple accounts for no reason (to my knowledge, but I have my suspicions now).

Backup accounts/separate accounts are allowed so long as if it's a case of moving to a new account or what have you. Editing the wiki with multiple accounts is... not really desired, but if it's a case of "I forgot to log out of another account" or "I'm switching accounts" or whatever, then that's fine, so long as people don't intend to make it a thing.
