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.

 Bureaucrat note: User:Jd1234 already exists (registered in Feb 2007) but has no edits so a usurpation may be in order. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:37, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ysleairam → K3k0r2d2

 Bureaucrat note: Please provide a reason for renaming. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:39, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note: Still seems to have "PBM" in it. Could you please choose a new name that doesn't have anything to do with the Pacific Badminton Management? –Juliancolton | Talk 15:18, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Worldbloggingforum → Bogdan.vacusta

 Clerk note: Moved from WP:CHU/U. Regards SoWhy 12:18, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

איתן טל → Etan J. Tal

Yes, I wish to change the fonts into Latin.Etan Tal (talk) 13:43, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No problems (yet...) with the potential implications associated with using a real name.Etan Tal (talk) 13:43, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Bureaucrat note: This account already exists on commons and HE (See here). I note that neither has secured the SUL. I assume you own both accounts. Please logout of here, login to HE or Commons (whichever is the wiki you decide is your "home") and claim the SUL. Then please make an edit to your talk there that you agree to this change here. Then come back here and post the diff and we'll rename you. --Dweller (talk) 12:36, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I managed successfully to establish my new user name (via he: SUL procedure). Regretfully the old user name still contains the watchlist, which did not migrate to the new user name. Can you direct me how to solve this? Etan J. Tal 07:01, 18 November 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by איתן טל (talk • contribs)
    •  Bureaucrat note: That's because you've created a new account on en:, rather than be renamed. Please will you make a note on your home wiki talk that you agree to us doing the following: a) moving the new, empty en: account to another name, and b) renaming your old account to the new name. --Dweller (talk) 07:04, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done as instructed (in my User Talk: איתן טל)Etan J. Tal 08:50, 18 November 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by איתן טל (talk • contribs)
  •  Bureaucrat note: Your home wiki is he: not en:. You need to leave a note here. Please ensure you're logged in when you do so. Sorry to make you do all this, but we're very careful to make sure we're not giving away people's accounts! Behatzlacha --Dweller (talk) 10:29, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done as requested (hopefully...). You are perfectly right to be careful. Toda!Etan J. Tal 15:04, 18 November 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Etan J. Tal (talk • contribs)

M.James Roth → M.james.roth

M. James Roth (talk) 02:29, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Bureaucrat note: The requested username is the same as your current name, aside from the first letter being in lowercase. Due to technical limitations, usernames must start with an uppercase letter. However, you may use the template {{lowercase title}} on your user and user talk pages, and change your signature to reflect your preference. MBisanz talk 02:32, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Clerk note: Actually, he wants the "j" and "r" decapitalized, which is acceptable and possible. –Juliancolton | Talk 03:29, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, he wants the M, J and R decap'd. MBisanz talk 05:33, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The name still is not the same because he's not asking for just the M to be decapitalized. I agree with Juliancolton. -Jeremy (v^_^v Stop... at a WHAMMY!!) 23:47, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Bureaucrat note: Can the user please confirm if you would be happy with an uppercase first letter, but lowercase j and r? We dislike performing multiple name changes for the same user, which is why MBisanz is being so careful not to just perform a change that you may still be unhappy with. --Dweller (talk) 12:30, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
