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.

  • SoxBot has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot VI (talk) 15:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note: You changed your name on May 6, 2008. Renaming causes a heavy strain on the database. We cannot approve of repeated renames on the whims of users. Please think about the name change. If you go ahead with this request, we would have to deny you any further renaming opportunity in the future. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:54, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that statement.I am sooooo cool! 18:16, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done -- reply is unclear. File the request again if you like. — Dan | talk 21:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

StefanJulius → Isaak Josefsohn

  • SoxBot has evaluated this request, and a problem(s) was found. Please see above notes. SoxBot VI (talk) 16:20, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

EssJay (talk) 16:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note: Is there a particular reason your signature identifies you as EssJay? The Rambling Man (talk) 18:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Phonetical initials of StefanJulius. Rudget (Help?) 18:21, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Personally, I think that signature should be changed. It's very misleading. bibliomaniac15 23:58, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have informed StefanJulius of this on his talk page. Useight (talk) 02:09, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done -- apparently this request has been fulfilled or otherwise superceded. — Dan | talk 21:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gwryla

a random request...

[for deletion]

I created the account Gwrila in the Bulgarian wikipedia accidentally at 19:20 on 21 May 2008 and only just noticed (i meant to spell it Gwryla, as my English account is). I then created the bg:Gwryla account also, and please want to ask if you can delete the bg:Gwrila one.

(i have written a deletion request on its talk page, here - and the other account confirms this also: here. The only contributions made by both those accounts are to the actual userpages and talkpages - i don't mind you merging the two accounts' histories into the contribution history for Gwryla - i've left a note on both saying so.)

it simply feels a bit weird knowing there's an account floating out there in cyberspace that'll never be used because it's spelt wrong...and someone else might want to use it in future, anyway. The Gwryla's moral like that, you see [:-)

(there's no 'changе-your-username' option in the Bulgarian wikipedia, we just get transferred to here, as you can see for yourselves).

So, in a word: please delete the bg:Gwrila account, and leave me the other two, spelt "Gwryla".

Thank you. [:-) Gwryla (talk) 10:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note:: Accounts cannot be 'deleted' as such, simply renamed, and there is no real harm in simply letting it sit unused as people can simply usurp the account if they want it as it has no edits. No-one is going to mind it existing, as no-one will really know. RichardΩ612 Ɣ ɸ 15:48, May 22, 2008 (UTC)
 Not done. — Dan | talk 21:52, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done -- no reply to query. — Dan | talk 21:51, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another reason to rename is that this is the real name of a person who is upset at the SSP case filed in his name due to his new account (detected by similar edits). Because of the shared password business, the renamed account will be reblocked. Thatcher 04:53, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
