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.



ThailandExchange → OatThailandExchange

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Legobot (talk) 05:00, 20 October 2014 (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. @ThailandExchange: --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 11:08, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fans of Wetzel MArtial Arts → Fans of Wetzel Martial Arts

 Clerk note: Fixed malformed request. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 22:05, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Robot clerk note: The username Fans of Wetzel MArtial Arts does not exist. --Legobot (talk) 22:10, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Clerk note: Accounts are meant for individuals, not groups. Your requested username Usernames implies shared use which is not allowed. Mlpearc (open channel) 02:21, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Fans of Wetzel MArtial Arts: Per Mlpearc, “Fan of Wetzel Martial Arts” for example would be possible. Please confirm this name or choose another one (and don't share your account). Cheers, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:09, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done no response. MBisanz talk 23:16, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lapierre → Squarepads

Robot clerk note: No problems found --Legobot (talk) 14:30, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Lapierre: Unfortunately, the bot is wrong: Please create a global account first by following the instructions on Special:MergeAccount. Cheers, —DerHexer (Talk) 14:34, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Legoktm: Any chance to get your bot fixed soon? :-) Cheers, —DerHexer (Talk) 15:15, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@DerHexer: The bot hasn't repeated the error, it might've just been a simple error. Anyway, once the bot has left a message on a request, it won't post again, so you'll need to completely remove the bot's message for it to re-evaluate the request and post again. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 21:16, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The bot wasn't wrong, the request had no issues at 14:30, it seems the user or someone else created the target name some minutes later. @Lapierre: @Squarepads: it is probably in your best interest to just start using the new name. –xenotalk 17:06, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Your username currently and requested is a violation of Wikipedia Username policies. Your username cannot represent a group or company.- McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 15:47, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) 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. Also, you are confusing an article name with your username. An article is, well, an encyclopedic article, like Barack Obama. Your username is the name of the account that you log in to Wikipedia. Each user gets their own userpage, which is basically a page with their username with a "User:" in front of it as a name (e.g. User:K6ka). If you want to create a userpage draft, you will create it in a user sandbox in your userspace first. As it is a draft, it is not technically considered an encyclopedia article yet. You should submit your draft to the Articles for Creation team once you are done to have it reviewed. Then you can create the page in the main article namespace. For more tips on creating an article, see WP:YFA, and if you have any further questions, visit the Teahouse. --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 15:48, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
