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.

Shawn laser lightning plasma → Shawn Worthington Laser Plasma

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Chris G Bot 3 (talk) 18:10, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Bureaucrat note: Umm...this seems a bit long. You sure you don't want to cut down? And do you know the ramifications of using your real name here? bibliomaniac15 01:45, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is it ok if i keep it,I dont really want to wait another 2 days, Do u mean the ramifications for real name users like people harass u or vandalize u. Shawn laser lightning plasma (talk) 03:53, 17 November 2011 (UTC) I deleted lighting and put Thunderstorm because it has all types of weather, how long will it take now to approve and have my new user name. Shawn laser lightning plasma (talk) 04:02, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note: The requested username is completely disruptive (due to being so long). Even the current username is pushing the limits as far as that goes. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 05:30, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is this good enough. Shawn laser lightning plasma (talk) 17:23, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

how about if i delete the 11 that will reduce 3 spaces and will be exactly the same as original. Shawn laser lightning plasma (talk) 05:59, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note: I think you misunderstand. Even your current username, "Shawn laser lightning plasma", is pushing the limits when it comes to disruptive usernames due to sheer length. Anything longer is therefore even ore disruptive. Please select a shorter username. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 07:29, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is this good its shorter than the second time when chrisbot approved of it i added 11 Shawn laser lightning plasma (talk) 17:44, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Bureaucrat note: Chris G Bot 3 doesn't "approve" of anything; all it does is make sure the entry appears correct and there are no conflicts with existing usernames. The username is still too long, as indicated in each of my previous responses. Please reread those comments for clues on an acceptable length for a username (hint: it can't be any longer than your current username, which is pushing the limits on acceptability). ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 04:18, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How about this its much shorter than the first time u told be if i want to cut it down, please i will be a good future editor this name gives me a boost.Shawn laser lightning plasma (talk) 07:46, 18 November 2011 (UTC) Is it good enough let me known. Shawn laser lightning plasma (talk) 07:20, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok i deleted the 2 spaces now its exactly the same amount of spaces of my current name, but i would love to use at least one space, if cant thats ok, how long will it take to approve of this new user name.Shawn laser lightning plasma (talk) 03:00, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The spaces are fine, and I've added them back. The user "Shawn laser lightning plasma" has been renamed to "Shawn Worthington Laser Plasma".  Done ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 04:51, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CCVFDWebmaster → VFD-LT-12-05

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Chris G Bot 3 (talk) 13:50, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This name change was already approved, please see the notes in the talk section of CCVFDWebmaster. VFD does not indicate any particular company just that I am a VFD Member, LT just indicates that I am a VFD Lieutenant, and the number is just my badge number.

 Bureaucrat note: The admin who unblocked your account is not able to approve specific usernames; rather, he indicated it would be more acceptable than the current username. The username is promotional because you've already indicated with your current username that you are the webmaster for the organization. Therefore, you can not have anything indicating your connection to the organization in your username. It must represent you, not your affiliations or connections with employers or organizations for which you do work. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 04:21, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Chris G Bot 3 (talk) 20:50, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note that the new name contains a typo (three "s" in posssibly). Is this intended, or do you wish to be renamed to "possiblybetween"? — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:55, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
