Changing username/Simple
Shortcuts
This page is a forum in which users can request, and global renamers (including stewards) can consider and carry out, requests to rename accounts to usernames that are not yet taken on any Wikimedia project. While global renamers carry out renames, other users (including bots) help by "clerking" the mechanics of this process. If you wish to help as a clerk, please read the linked page carefully.
Instructions
For help 'vanishing' from Wikipedia,
please see courtesy vanishing.

Once you have decided on the name you would like:

  1. Read this page first. You must be aware of, and understand, all of that information before requesting a username change
  2. Check to make sure this username is not already in use. Do this by searching for the name here. If the name appears in the results, even if on another Wikimedia project, it is taken.
  3. Do not create an account under the new name or move/redirect your userpages. We'll do that for you.
  4. Log in with your present username in order to place your request. Renames will not be approved if the requester is not logged in.
  5. Click here to place your request.
    • Add your desired username after NEW=
    • Add a reason for the change after REASON=
    • Do not change anything after CURRENT=
  6. Make sure that you have spelt your desired name correctly, including capitalization and spacing. Save the page. If your request is submitted malformed, please remedy it according to this page.
  7. Check back on this page periodically to answer any questions that may arise regarding your request. Please be patient. It may take a few days for your request to be completed. If you do not answer any questions, your request may be declined due to no response.
  8. Once your request has been completed, please do not remove or change your request. It will be archived automatically by a bot.
  • Requests that do not adhere to these instructions or that are grossly malformed are subject to removal.


Important Notes After you are renamed...
  • Due to technical limitations, usernames may not start with a lowercase letter. However, you may use the template {{lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your signature to reflect your preference.
  • Underscores and spaces are considered identical by the MediaWiki software.
  • Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy.
  • Please understand the implications of using your real name before requesting a name change to it.
  • ... your name will be changed to the new one in the page history of every page you've edited.
  • ... your userpage and any subpages will be moved to the new name automatically. Please do not attempt to move them yourself.
  • ... links left by your previous signatures will still point to the old userpage; however, a redirect will be left behind to your new userpage.
  • ... your request will be automatically moved to the archives in the interest of transparency.


Current requests

pt:Wikipedia:Renomeação de conta#WikiTrovão → HélioVL. WikiTrovão (talk) 16:37, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Great. Even I can understand that! Please just claim the SUL using the pt: account (it's in the "my preferences" menu in English - look at the top of the screen). When that's done, let me know and I'll do the change. --Dweller (talk) 16:43, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I confirm. WikiTrovão (talk) 18:56, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's been nearly two weeks, and you have not yet claimed the SUL account by going to pt:Especial:MergeAccount and following the instructions there. Once that's done, we can rename your account here. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 00:55, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Liam9976 → Super2010

Matthewhicks93 → Stewart Gilligan Griffin

 Clerk note: clerk I removed the quotation marks from the old name as they do not exist as part of the registered name and also from the new name on presumption of writing style by the requester.
As such i found that the requested username, Stewart Gilligan Griffin, is already registered; see Special:Listusers. However, as this requested account has made no edits, it meets the criteria for being usurped; if you wish to usurp it, please read and follow the process at Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. Generally, users requesting to usurp an account must be established editors. If you do not wish to seek leave to usurp the username, please choose another name to be renamed to. delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 19:20, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note: Moved (and refactored) request from WP:CHU/SUL. EVula // talk // ☯ // 02:55, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: All of your edits are self-promotional in nature. Do you intend to contribute to the encyclopedia at all? EVula // talk // ☯ // 02:56, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Are you aware of (and comfortable with) the potential implications associated with using a real name? The Arbiter★★★ 02:50, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

S Q → Saqib Qayyum

I wanna transfer my edits to target account. --Saqib talk 08:18, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Can you post (from the "Saqib Qayyum" account) confirmation that both accounts are owned by the same person? Also, the "Saqib Qayyum" account has more edits than "S Q" does; can you not just cease using the current account? (there's no way to merge the two accounts together; you'd be renamed, but the existing 932 edits would not still be attributed to the "Saqib Qayyum" name) EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:40, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I wanna attribute edits, I made using User: S Q to requested username User:Saqib Qayyum.--Saki talk 18:00, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: If you're asking for another account's edits to be reattributed with your current account, it is not possible. Edits cannot be reattributed without renaming. (X! · talk)  · @893  ·  20:25, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
So then rename it, both accounts belong to me. --Saki talk 12:31, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nowhere in WP:USERNAME does it state that -- -- -- is a violation. A non-English user name is hardly reason to block someone.
