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

LeBaron1 → Alinganster

 Bureaucrat note: Moved from WP:CHU/SUL. EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Your requested username is very similar to an existing username, Alingana. Is there another name you'd be comfortable with? EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:45, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done No response. =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:56, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

dcb0sr → haron C Richardson - Senior Tutor

 Bureaucrat note: To avoid future renames, I'd like you to state that you understand the dangers of using your real name (as witnessed by another rename request just a bit further down), and that putting temporary titles (such as "Senior Tutor") in usernames generally means you'll want it changed later. Would "Haron C Richardson" work for you? EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:10, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just to check the bureaucrats are aware, I'm pretty sure that the user wants to be Sharon C Richardson - the missing S in the title seems to be a typo. TSP (talk) 20:17, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done No response. =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:58, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notefju → KH2008

 Bureaucrat note: Since you have activated SUL, could you place a confirmation request on zh wiki, and paste the diff here? This is to prevent a bogus request. Thanks! =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CURRENT → NEW

I have noticed i have only placed one CAPITAL on my username. If possible could you ammend my usename to include caps, example.. Alien Disclosure Group. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alien disclosure group (talk • contribs) 23:33, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • SoxBot has evaluated this request, and renaming appears to be possible. SoxBot VI (talk) 23:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Need the old and new names. Left note for him. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:01, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: This appears to be either a promotional or role account. I suggest renaming to something not as confusing. Maxim (☎) 01:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: - just a note: typically, requests this malformed are simply removed, with a note to the user, to prevent the possibility of archival confusion and general disorder with the carrying out of renames. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 13:21, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

" Not done Per above. =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:56, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

stevem1122 → fjerrybee

 Clerk note: User "Fjerrybee" is not registered. Please see WP:CHU instead. ClueBot VI (talk) 19:51, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Moved from WP:CHU/U. Maxim (☎) 01:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Rename not necessary. Create the new account instead. =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:54, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dhblaine → Dbln

 Done EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:19, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bagelpizzas → BobPeck

 Done There was a BobPeck account, but it was a vandalism-only account; I've renamed it "BobPeck (rename)", making this a somewhat unofficial usurpation. Perhaps a bit unusual, but oh well. EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:25, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I guess there is no harm in this, but since '(rename)' isn't a generally accepted endtag, it might be best to use '(usurped)' as usual in future, even whilst performing strange usurpations such as this. Not that I intend to instruct the 'crats; just my thoughts. :) —Anonymous DissidentTalk 09:56, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Markskitzo → Calpunk

Goiter Sanchez → Vephthode

Isabelle08 → Autumn Fall
