Template:RFCUsername

This page is for bringing attention to usernames which may be inappropriate under Wikipedia's username policy, which differs from rules about other forms of self-expression on Wikipedia. You should become familiar with the username policy before commenting on a username. Before listing a username here, consider if it should be more appropriately reported elsewhere:

• For blatantly inappropriate usernames, such as usernames that are obscene or inflammatory, post to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.
• To discuss the behavior of a user not directly related to their username, such as vandalism, personal attacks or other urgent issues, try Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
• For policy debates and suggestions regarding the Wikipedia:Username policy, try Wikipedia talk:Username policy.
• If the username is only a borderline or questionable problem, and the user has made no edits, there is no need to report it anywhere. Try expressing your concern, civilly, on the user's talk page instead.
• Make sure that the user in question has not already been blocked prior to bringing their username here.
• If you wish to contest or question the blocking of a user by an admin, please do not post the issue here. Instead, discuss the block with the blocking administrator or with other administrators.

Before listing a user here, please consider contacting the user on his or her talk page and bring their attention to the problem and Wikipedia:Changing username. You may wish to use {{subst:UsernameConcern}} for this purpose.

If after that you still believe someone has chosen an inappropriate username under Wikipedia's username policy, you may list it here and explain which part of the username policy you think it violates. Also please inform the user with {{subst:UsernameDiscussion}} .

Proposed username blocks are discussed; they are not ratified by some majority vote. If you give your opinion in a username discussion, you are highly encouraged to include a rationale in accordance with the username policy.

If discussion allows the name, notify the user with {{subst:UsernameAllowed}} .
