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

Add new requests to the bottom of the page.

Httpwwwlearnrussiancom → Mubersoz

 Bureaucrat note: - please make the request while logged into User:Httpwwwlearnrussiancom. Kingturtle (talk) 14:46, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: I have requested the requesting editor to pop by here whilst logged-in. Anthøny 16:40, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. WjBscribe 12:45, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Realwomex → WOMEX

 Bureaucrat note: - please make the request while logged into the User:Realwomex account. Kingturtle (talk) 12:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Asked editor to sign in on respective talk page. Rudget (Help?) 16:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. WjBscribe 12:46, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SunStar Net → Renamed vandal (random number)

 Bureaucrat note: I'm not sure I understand this request. Why are you making this request rather than User:Kelsington and what claim does he have to this name? If Kelsington can't log into his account, renaming him won't help with that. WjBscribe 12:27, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NationalRealEstateAssociation → RealEstateBiographical

 Not done. WjBscribe 12:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bhuvaneshkohli → Bhuvan77

 Bureaucrat note: If you are making this request for privacy reasons, bear in mind that being renamed creates a permanent log entry liking your current name to your new one. As you haven't made any contributions yet, it may be better for you just to start a new account with your chosen name from a privacy point of view. WjBscribe 18:07, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

S200048 → SonicteamUSA

 Clerk note: Your chosen username implies a role account and is thus inappropriate; you'd be best off choosing another if you want the change. -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 17:30, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. WjBscribe 12:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rsriram → Rsriram123

 Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by 70.246.95.18 (talk · contribs). Please log in to the account that is to be renamed and confirm this request. Rudget (Help?) 17:47, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. WjBscribe 12:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

K4zxw@arrl.net → Dtm1007

  •  Clerk note: All requests must be made while logged in to the account that will be renamed; this request was made by 71.235.125.73 (talk · contribs). Please log in to the account that is to be renamed and confirm this request. Acalamari 02:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. WjBscribe 12:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Djiann → Himatsu Bushi

There is precedant (the names were vacated and the rename performed), but in that case the person squatting usernames was doing so in order to be disruptive. Is there any evidence that the user behind the new username is a bad-faith account? -Jéské (v^_^v E pluribus unum) 07:35, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Done - for the record, I regard the creation of accounts with names already requested here as de facto disruption... WjBscribe 12:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jimsgardens → Jim's Garden Services

 Not done. WjBscribe 12:52, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

91.50.109.242 → Magna

Actually, looking at the logs, it seems that the account you want has already been created. However, it has made no edits, and therefore you may be able to usurp the name. You will need to create an account using a different name and get yourself established [generally, usurpation requests from new users are not fulfilled] before you will be able to usurp. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 16:10, May 12, 2008 (UTC)
 Clerk note: The requesting IP is an active TOR "exit node". Rudget (Help?) 17:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can we get this marked {{notdone}} by a 'crat, obviously non-compliant especially in light of Rudget's comments. RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 17:49, May 12, 2008 (UTC)
