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.

Click2city → Theknoxxx

 Bureaucrat note: User Click2city has been migrated to the unified login system. Renaming it will cause the local user to be detached from the global one. Please let us know if this is ok with you. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:00, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chagfeh → Karmasbh

What does that mean?--karmasbh (talk) 14:19, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: It means that your current username is associated with other projects. We need to know if you don't mind this username being separated from those other projects before we proceed with a rename. Synergy 14:26, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I guess that's actually cool, that way, it would be like having two me's on wikipedia! :D

Stephen Della Valle → Rising Above the Influence

 Clerk note: reason appears to be switch from a likely real name. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:37, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done - the target account was recently created, I presume the user has chosen to create a new account instead of being renamed. WJBscribe (talk) 10:05, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rasheedsk → RASHEED SHAIK

There doesn't seem to be an account on the arabic wikipedia by the name of RASHEED SHAIK, Rasheed shaik or Rasheed Shaik - could you clarify? WJBscribe (talk) 00:43, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: notified user too. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:46, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Palmbeachpost → PalmBeach_DanB

 Bureaucrat note: PalmBeach_DanB still seems to be associated with the Palm Beach Post. Can you assure us that your editing will remain neutral and will not take the POV of the newspaper? Kingturtle (talk) 15:18, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oberoiaman → !@#$

 Clerk note: The pound fouls up templates and Wikilinks; thus it can't be used in a username. Sorry. -Jéské (v^_^v Mrrph-mph!) 19:44, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Leop85 → LepVektor

 Bureaucrat note: User Leop85 has been migrated to the unified login system. Renaming it will cause the local user to be detached from the global one. Please let us know if you would still like to be renamed. EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:02, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can I migrate again to the unified login system when my username is changed? If so, then I still want renamed.--Leop85 (talk) 17:22, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: You can request your global account to be deleted by a Meta steward at Steward requests/SUL requests. Once the global account is deleted, you can re-request a rename, and establish a global account with your new name. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 17:57, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then please rename me and I'll deal with the global account. Thanks--Leop85 (talk) 19:32, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably best to keep this request on hold. Please have your global account deleted before renaming. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 19:36, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DhdCruiser → Miket101

 Bureaucrat note: User DhdCruiser has been migrated to the unified login system. Renaming it will cause the local user to be detached from the global one. Please let us know if you would still like to be renamed.
Also, please don't remove your previous request (along with my note) just to place the same request. EVula // talk // ☯ // 13:51, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Websty → Hemantan

 Clerk note: Did you mean Hermantan? You give your name as Herman above, and I wonder if this is what you meant. PeterSymonds (talk) 12:06, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Titan602 → Mephiles602

 Done Kingturtle (talk) 15:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mallory.harden → Mallory.Harden

 Done Kingturtle (talk) 15:12, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ahmadwaleed → Ahmadwaleed

Ahmadwaleed (talk) 12:20, 24 July 2008 (UTC)*[reply]

 Clerk note: Unfortunately the first letter of the first word in usernames (and any page) are automatically capitalised by the software, so this move will not be possible. PeterSymonds (talk) 12:33, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done - To make the first letter appear lowercase add {{lowercase}} to your userpage. Also you may want to customize your signature. Kingturtle (talk) 15:13, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moshin → M_Miah

 Bureaucrat note: User Moshin has been migrated to the unified login system. Renaming it will cause the local user to be detached from the global one. Will that be ok with you? Kingturtle (talk) 15:14, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

JoePawlikowski → SixStringAssassin

 Done - some people do use their real names, but there are many good reasons to use something else. Kingturtle (talk) 15:15, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aradic-es → Quahadi

 Bureaucrat note: - User Aradic-es has been migrated to the unified login system. Renaming it will cause the local user to be detached from the global one. Will that be ok with you? Kingturtle (talk) 15:17, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. It does not matter.--Aradic-es (talk) 17:25, 24 July 2008 (UTC) In fact. Do not change! I will change the username on the unfified login. At least try to.--Aradic-es (talk) 17:27, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: Withdrawn by requester. See m:Steward requests/SUL requests to ask a Steward to delete Global accounts. This will enable you to change your name without breaking from your current unified login. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 17:32, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Callevacamp → Mattm789

Callevacamp (talk) 15:19, 24 July 2008 (UTC)*[reply]

 Clerk note: The username appears to be promotional. Use of a company, organization, group, website, or product name as a username is prohibited by the username policy. Please choose another name. Appears to be the name of this organisation. PeterSymonds (talk) 15:25, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Changed choice Callevacamp (talk) 16:10, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vespa64 → Amirreza

This has been upgraded to WP:USURP. –xeno (talk) 19:30, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Coppercove → Huckleberry

Coppercove (talk) 21:10, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
